So you could try adding a bzip2-compressed copy of the Packages file

left as an exercise to the reader.)
Note to the Debian-CD team:
It probably wouldn't hurt adding Packages.bz2 everywhere, to match
what's on the FTP mirrors.
It's an option, but not likely to fix this problem. Other machines
install just fine from current CDs without Packages.bz2...
