If you have for example the ORIGINAL CDs/DVD's of 3.1r4 I can build  the
package tree from there since I have all original packages I only do not
know which packages went included in the releases...

And yes, there is a problem with the signed release files, but  since  I
can check my packages agains packages on <archive.debian.net> I am sure,
I have the right an unaltered ones.

And IF I recreate the packages.gz/Sources.gz, I sign it with MY key  and
you CAN trust it or not...

And of course, you can pull down a couple of packages/files  out  of  my
several million (nearly 20 TByte or ninety SCSI  300 GByte  drives)  and
check it against packages/files from <archive.debian.net>...  :-)
