If the Debian web site had a better description of the directory structure
an official CD should have, it would help. Then I could easily compare the

Side note:
On my CDs: contrib is 200MB
binary-i386 + binary-all + disks-i386 is 594 MB
source is 617 MB

This does not fit on two CDs, so I can't see how this is possible.
My i386 binary CD looks like (edited output of `du`):
