Reprepro does not support a udeb-only archive, you can only have a
deb+udeb archive (thus the empty Package file outside debian-installer).
The Release file in debian-installer is not created because when I wrote
that part of the code the Debian archive did not have a Release file
there either (The format of the Debian archive is not documented at all
and changes quite a lot).

To have a Release file generated, it should be enough to add the proper
UDebIndices field. (Take a look at the manpage and use the DebIndices
default as UDebIndices value).
