Hi, I'm really no ISO-builder-Pro, but ranseyer asked for some comparison-work...

I found the following annomallies:
A) In original Ubuntu-ISO (ubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386.iso) some filenames seem to be cut in length somehow
  /pool/main/l/linux/firewire-core-modules-3.0.0-12-generic-pae-di_3.0.0-12.20_i38.ude
  /pool/main/l/linux/fs-secondary-modules-3.0.0-12-generic-pae-di_3.0.0-12.20_i386.ude
  /pool/main/l/linux/pcmcia-storage-modules-3.0.0-12-generic-pae-di_3.0.0-12.20_i3.ude
  /pool/main/l/linux/storage-core-modules-3.0.0-12-generic-pae-di_3.0.0-12.20_i386.ude
  /pool/main/t/thunderbird/thunderbird-gnome-support_7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1_i38.deb
In the remastered ISO this files have a longer name
  /pool/main/l/linux/firewire-core-modules-3.0.0-12-generic-pae-di_3.0.0-12.20_i386.udeb
  /pool/main/l/linux/fs-secondary-modules-3.0.0-12-generic-pae-di_3.0.0-12.20_i386.udeb
  /pool/main/l/linux/pcmcia-storage-modules-3.0.0-12-generic-pae-di_3.0.0-12.20_i386.udeb
  /pool/main/l/linux/storage-core-modules-3.0.0-12-generic-pae-di_3.0.0-12.20_i386.udeb
  /pool/main/t/thunderbird/thunderbird-gnome-support_7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
Do still fit the given packet-name-references (where ever they are written in) ?
Or did someone cut the filenames to stay in a given limitation of characters and the full names now exceed this limits ?

B) In Ubuntu-ISO and Remastered ISO the file /dists/oneiric/main/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages.gz are different in length and content (please find attached)
BUT the only change made in the installer-packages was the customizing in partman-base

Unfortunately I have no idea how to check if Packages.gz (resp. the included file) is still OK or buggy or if the changed filenames have this bad influence on the UCK scripts, but I hope someone else can continue on this points to finally define this points as being OK or faulty...
