Debian Install DVD .jigdos out of date?

Hi

Can anyone comment on whether the .jigdo files currently published on cdimage.debian.org and its mirrors for the DVD images of the i386 STABLE distribution are out of date? I tried to use them yesterday to make an image of the first DVD (using
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r1/i386/jigdo-dvd/debian-40r1-i386-DVD-1.jigdo as my input file) using several mirrors of the Debian archive in Japan, to find that 247 files couldn't be downloaded because they are not in the pool. I didn't look at all 247 examples but the examples I did look at were all because later versions of the package had replaced the version referenced by the .jigdo file / template. I also tried getting the missing 247 using a US debian archive -- same problem. Looks like the .jigdo file is for 4.0r1 whilst the archive has 4.0r2. An example package is OpenOffice Draw -- what's in the archive is openoffice.org-draw_2.0.4.dfsg.2-7etch4_i386.deb but the .jigdo file / template is expecting openoffice.org-draw_2.0.4.dfsg.2-7etch1_i386.deb (etch1 at the end not etch4). The etch1 file is no longer in the archive.

Anyone else seen this? Can anyone tell me where I can get an updated .jigdo file / template that will work? And rather more importantly, can anyone tell me why the officially published .jigdo files aren't in step with the archive? Surely this is just going to encourage people to hammer the mirrors for .iso images?

Mark
