Hmm.. I did not remove them on purpose, but since lt is not a supported
language in knoppix-autoconfig, mkisofs will map out this directory in
the build scripts. You can fix this by just reinstalling the locales
package in your modified version.

I think I understood you right, but you don't seem to be aware of the
fact that you can use the exact same md5sum-file to verify if the CD
was burned correctly.
Just do a
dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=1 count=size_of_image | md5sum
to check if the burned CD still matches the image.
Also, for a quick check, you can boot knoppix with
knoppix testcd
which will check for physical read errors.

Because I don't think it makes much sense to do this for each individual
file, when you can just check the full image.

I have added debsums, it was not too big.
Adding an md5 file for EACH file on the CD would exceed the available
space, though, alone for the entries in the ISO directory index.
