files on each CD/DVD; instead grab the details for each package
directly from the Packages file in the archive. MUCH MUCH faster,
and uses less code too. Affected scripts:
+ tools/scanpackages now just generates Release files. argv[1] used
to be "scan" or "install", but no longer used
+ tools/add_debs slightly simplified - old code removed
+ tools/add_packages now dumps out Packages file fragments as each
.deb and .udeb is copied into the temporary trees
+ WARNING: Any uses of the "before-scanpackages" hook may now break
- shout if you're affected.

It's a problem that appeared with the use of FORCENONUSONCD1 and LOCAL.
such a package would always live in binary-all, but apparently that's
not the case. I'm now checking if the file in binary-$ARCH is a
symbolic before assuming that.
