debian installation from partial mirror - how?

[Lindsay Allen <allen@cbcfreo.wa.edu.au>]

I'm trying to do a fresh sid install using my local partial mirror and I
get stuck with a bebootstrap error "2".  The problem is with
dists/sid/Release.  I have tried to create a valid version to match my
mirror and it looks like this.

 Origin: Debian
 Label: Debian
 Suite: unstable
 Codename: sid
 Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 19:58:18 UTC
 Architectures: i386
 Components: main contrib non-free
 Description: Debian Unstable - Not Released
 MD5Sum:

All values are correct so the format must be wrong.  Where can I find a
script to generate a valid Release file?

TIA,
Lindsay
