Hi,

I'm only noticing this now, running "apt-file update" on jessie:
| Ignoring source without Contents File:
|   http://security.debian.org/dists/jessie/updates/main/Contents-amd64.gz
| Ignoring source without Contents File:
|   http://security.debian.org/dists/jessie/updates/contrib/Contents-amd64.gz
| Ignoring source without Contents File:
|   http://security.debian.org/dists/jessie/updates/non-free/Contents-amd64.gz

I suppose this might just be an option that's disabled on security's dak
or something similar, and turning on shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

Based on a very quick look at dak.git, it seems those files might be
generated through something like dak/contents.py generate, which uses
*ContentsWriter classes through helpers.

Nothing of ultra-high {priority,importance} though.

Mraw,
KiBi.
