Local .debs not being found.

[Timothy J. Miller]

I maintain a full i386 Debian mirror as well as an archive of local 
packages on the same server.  My local debs archive consist of local 
code as well as packages backported from unstable.  To prevent them 
from being deleted by the nightly rsync, I've placed the local and 
backports into a separate pool under another directory different from 
the mirror.

Essentially this creates a new and separate archive (/mirror/local/) 
with its own package pool (/mirror/local/pool/) that's sibling to 
/mirror/debian and /mirror/debian-non-US containing a local section as 
well as as main, contrib, and non-free sections.

The problem I'm having is while I can point debian-cd to the new 
hierarchy (LOCALDEBS=/mirror/local), this only looks for the 
dists/$CODENAME/local section and ignores main, contrib and non-free.  
Additionally, while debian-cd knows the local packages exist, 'make 
mirrorcheck' doesn't seem to look into $LOCALDEBS/pool for the local 
packages; instead it reports them missing.

Obviously my goal here is to cut a set of Debian CDROMs *including* my 
local and backported packages, but I'm stuck.

Help?
