Oh. Also, you're expected to have entries for the md5sum & size
of the uncompressed Packages files *even if you only distribute the
compressed versions*. That's quite important for debootstrap's caching,
and possibly apt's.

Oh, and your problem is that your paths should be relative to the
directory the Release file's in, not the directory dists/ is in. ie:

 a2325b24d36c4a6678fb213198c3fbbd             1366 dists/unstable/nwt/binary-i386/Packages

should be:

 a2325b24d36c4a6678fb213198c3fbbd             1366 nwt/binary-i386/Packages

See? No "dists/unstable" before the nwt.
