If you have for example the ORIGINAL CDs/DVD's of 3.1r4 I can build the
package tree from there since I have all original packages I only do not
know which packages went included in the releases...
And yes, there is a problem with the signed release files, but since I
can check my packages agains packages on <archive.debian.net> I am sure,
I have the right an unaltered ones.
And IF I recreate the packages.gz/Sources.gz, I sign it with MY key and
you CAN trust it or not...
And of course, you can pull down a couple of packages/files out of my
several million (nearly 20 TByte or ninety SCSI 300 GByte drives) and
check it against packages/files from <archive.debian.net>... :-)
