Title:
  'apt-ftparchive generate config' ignores some packages

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  I have here an intranet apt repository. Some of the packages are ignored by 'apt-ftparchive generate' (not mentioned in the generated Packages file).
  If I invoke apt-ftparchive packages or dpkg-scanpackages this packages are recognized.
