   Hi, 
  
   While working on scripts to update a DVD-1 image to add a few more 
 packages 
 (whithout rebuilding the whole DVD image from scratch), I looked at various 
 Release files in order to 'autodetect' the DVD content. 
   I see (on amd64 and arm64 DVD-1 images, I did not check in the other 
 images/media): 
 - /dists/trixie/Release 
   - present checksums (MD5Sum, SHA1, ...) for 
     [component]/binary-[arch]/Packages that are not present (only Packages. 
 gz 
     are there, and they also have their checksums). 
     Here, it is perhaps to give a way to check the uncompressed file, but it 
     seems strange to me to provide checksum to files that need to be 
     built/uncompressed 
   - set "Components: main contrib" 
     - The "non-free-firmware" component is missing from the header (even if 
 it 
       is present on the media), and its "Release" file is missing, see below 
     - The "debian-installer" component is missing from the header (it is 
       perhaps normal here, as this component is for the installer itself, 
 not 
       the target system) 
 - /dists/trixie/non-free-firmware/binary-[arch]/Release 
   This file is missing (and, logically, not referenced in 
   /dists/trixie/Release) 
   All other components (even debian-installer) have their "Release" file 
  
   I give a minor severity to this bug as it seems that these infos are not 
 required to run installations. For myself, I switched back to look at the 
 filesystem layout to detect components, instead of relying on the 
 /dists/trixie/Release file contents. 
  
   Regards, 
     Vincent
