OK, I've generated a first set to match the etch r1 release. See:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r1/i386/list-cd/
for example. There's now a list file to correspond with each of the
ISO images, showing all .deb, .udeb, .dsc, .diff.gz and .tar.gz
files. I hope that's useful as a base for people to work with. Let me
know and I can add creation of the list files to the regular CD/DVD
creation scripts.
