This is my understanding... There is an extra-overrides file (maybe several?) which are not currently mirrored. That file contains lines like "make Task c-dev". The various Packages, Contents, etc files in an archive are generated by apt-ftparchive, which when given the "generate" parameter, goes off and reads a config file which (amongst other things) sucks in the extra-overrides file(s) and merges that info in to the Packages file. I guess one solution might be to have debian-cd merge in the extra-overrides to n.Packages-BOTH once it has generated it. Don't know if that would actually work though.
