Having the uncompressed files on the cdrom should not be needed, apt should simply fetch the compressed ones if the uncompressed ones are missing. It does need the hash of the uncompressed one in the Release so that it can verify that it matches after the uncompression. Having something stronger than gzip is certainly a good idea, apt should deal just fine with .xz. If its easy for you then maybe we could generate a netinst image with the above changes (plus switching to .xz) and I can test against the current apt and fix (potential) issue on my side. Alternatively if you could give me a quick hint how to generate a netinst (or similar iso) I can try to generate a testimage myself.
