(Get the code!)
Seems the culprit code is in tools/add_secured.
I don't have more than the faintest idea of how the flow of creating the pool goes.
I know there is code in ubuntu-cdimage for choosing which seeds to include and germinating them into a list of packages. Presumably something then downloads these packages, arranges them in to a pool like directory tree and runs apt-ftparchive? Or does apt-ftparchive's job by hand, it seems like?
tools/add_secured has this comment
# Only keep Packages.gz; it's a waste of space to keep Packages too. We
# delete these here rather than earlier because (for now) debootstrap
# and apt *do* need Packages to be mentioned in the Release file.
which sounds relevant to the problem at hand, but the "rather than earlier" bit makes no sense at all in the context of the /cdrom/pool.
