I myself was confused over the issue after I read all the speculations here.
But now I have got official word from Steve Langasek on #ubuntu-devel
"so the situation is that shipit is trying to exhaust their rather
extensive existing inventory of 8.04.0 CDs before switching over to
8.04.1
any 8.04.0 CDs that are still being sent out are being given an insert
that explains that the upgrades are needed
and in practice, the demand for 32-bit CDs is such that I'm told
they've already switched over to 8.04.1 (with new cover art &c)"

Hope that helps.
