    Most of the CDs have rarely used packages, so it's no surprise you
    don't have most of them installed.

    Install jigdo-file, then run:
    jigdo-lite http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r0a/i386/jigdo-cd/debian-31r0a-i386-binary-1.jigdo

    When it asks for a directory to scan, give it /var/cache/apt/packages

    Note that this builds the whole first CD - I don't think jigdo is
    available for the netinst images.
