* list2cds: set "Component" for udebs to "debian-installer
* merge_package_lists: skip udebs when including source
When building images for Etch+1/2, which takes regular packages from
stable and udebs from testing, there is a problem when adding source
for udebs as existing code will take source for both debs and udebs
from stable. This can result in either incorrect source being included
(version mismatch) or errors (new udebs for which no match can be found
in the Source.gz file that is used).
A proper solution would require that the debian-installer section gets
its own Sources.gz file, but that is currently just not available.
After trying some things the conclusion was that the best solution for
now is to just not include source for udebs at all.

arch along with source, there's a chance that the different arches may
have refs to a particular binary package (and hence its source) at
completely different points. Rather than just go with the one we find
first (from the first binary ref), make sure that the source will
match up with the earliest binary record, measured across all arches.
As noticed on the multi-arch DVD; make sure that source:kde-i18n makes
it into the package list before amd64:kde-i18n-ar.
debian-cd version 3.0.0. Highlights:
* Support now added for multi-arch CDs/DVDs, including mixed
binary/source discs. Multi-arch discs should be bootable on those
multiple arches, modulo boot-sector clashes. Extra support added
in boot-i386 and boot-amd64 to make the 2 main arches happily
co-exist.
* Disc sizing is now much more intelligent - sizes are defined
depending on the disk type chosen at the start, and discs are now
filled exactly to those sizes while files are added rather than
the old up-front guessing method. Equally, the metadata on the
disc (Packages, Packages.gz, Sources, Sources.gz, md5sums.txt) is
generated as much as possible while this is happening to make the
sizing code incredibly accurate. Using this method of disc sizing
means that customising discs should be much easier/safer - either
add custom contents at the start and debian-cd will fill the
remainder of the disc, or afterwards roll back the packages on the
disc and add extras later.
* Source is now treated as (almost) just another arch, with most of
the special casing for source hidden internally. If asking for
source-only discs, they will simply be built using all the
available sources. If combined with other arches, the sources will
automatically be chosen to match the binary packages. Meeting GPL
requirements was never so easy!
* Removed lots of old cruft to clean up the codebase:
+ non-US support
+ woody support
+ lots of old support scripts that have been made redundant
+ significantly simpler Makefile, much easier to follow
+ old boot-$ARCH.calc files for estimating boot-file sizes are now
(obviously) obsolete and therefore gone
