Package: ftp.debian.org

In debian-cd, we parse the Sources.gz to generate lists of packages
used in generating jigdos. The latest change in dak which changes the
output format has broken this for us.

Yes, I *know* that we should be able to cope with format changes by
parsing source stanzas fully, but that'll be much slower than what I
have now. My existing code relies on the Directory field coming before
the Files field(s), so that I can simply concatenate the two for my
needs. Now that Directory comes *after* the Files field, to do this
properly I'll have to generate a list internally and then output at
the end of the stanza. Of course that's possible, but the code is
a little more complex and slower.

If you could please move the Directory field back above Files, that
would be nice...
