Are you sure about that? It seems a little bit strange to me.

I'm working on a project dealing with security in an Ubuntu distribution:
saying if the running distribution is secure, updated and what kind of
security problem is afflicted from and an important key point is the
fetching the repository of the package. My problem is that I have a local
packages mirror, created with debmirror and rsync, but I've lost the log
files which the update type/repository information is stored in. So I'm
searching a way to fetch this info so that I can recreate a consistent  DB
of packages.
