Apt-get :: dpkg.tar.gz out of date?

I like what's been done in version 0.6 with regards to busybox (even though it's a little frustrating sometimes) and keeping the apt-get stuff off the cd, but as of a few days ago dpkg.tar.gz is still out of date. I want to do a remaster with lots of the 'fun' stuff taken off, and I was hoping to use apt/dpkg to remove it rather than hunting things down by had. As it is I can't remove things like xpacman or xpaint except the hard way. Is there any way we can get an up-to-date dpkg tarball?
