This is not linked to the mirroring process. This only have to do with the
Mandrake/base/rpmslist file. This files contains the cooker packages separated
by CDs. As there are often new packages or new libraries into cooker, these files,
that I only check once every one or 2 weeks, are not up to date, and as a consequence
there are packages present in the repository but not in the file, these packages
are added to the last iso images automatically.

This is not normal, however.
