Would including the directories, and Packages files on all CD's do the trick ? So the contrib directory and Packages file would be on the binary-<arch> CD, but none of the packages files would --- would the fact that the packages are missing break things, or would you get to swap CD's around and have it just pick up whatever was available ?
