Yes, and this is what I didn't like. I'd like to have the user insert
the first CD and than the package handling tool knows about _all_
packages. But problably this could be made optional. The major
change is an
X-Medium
header in the Packages file. The CDs are labeled like
debian 1 (bin-i386) [<some timestamp>]
and exactly this label is mentioned in the Packages file.
