People have asked this a couple of times, as if there is a hidden
"Debian CD specification document: a complete description of the
contents of an official CD". No such document exists. The
specification *is* the debian-cd package. A change to the debian-cd
package is a change to the official CD.
The only way to see what is on an official CD is to get one and look
at it.

In many peoples opinion (including mine) rewriting something in perl is
not necessarily an improvement.
But the scripts could certainly do with a bit of a re-write, so I guess
if you do it you get to choose the tools.
