(Get the code!)
No, it is clearly a design flaw. While the DB is being generated, it drops every package without installation candidate. On the alternate install, there are no informations about the avaible packages so everything is dropped, if it isn't installed. That is why DB is that small, it should be around 80 megs (see #2).
Running apt-get update as postinst would have no effect if no internet connection is avaible (not sure if it works with internet). To be honest, I don't see a good fix for this. We could avoid dropping of entries without installation candidate, but that would mean that uninstallable packages appear in LSC.
