If any packages changed, the version number really should have changed
too.
How did you download the CDs? jigdo, or direct download of an .iso?
jigdo automatically verifies the checksum of the image after generating
it. There should be MD5 checksums around for the raw .isos - e.g.
<http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian-cd/3.0_r0/i386/MD5SUMS>.

MD5summing the whole CD image and comparing with the file above should
be good enough, but I guess you'd want something like 'md5sum -c
md5sum.txt'. Make sure your current directory is such that all the
relative paths in md5sum.txt match up.
