This is my understanding... There is an extra-overrides file (maybe
several?) which are not currently mirrored. That file contains
lines like "make Task c-dev". The various Packages, Contents, etc
files in an archive are generated by apt-ftparchive, which when
given the "generate" parameter, goes off and reads a config file which
(amongst other things) sucks in the extra-overrides file(s) and
merges that info in to the Packages file.
I guess one solution might be to have debian-cd merge in the extra-overrides
to n.Packages-BOTH once it has generated it. Don't know if that would
actually work though.
