B sorts through a tree of Debian binary packages and creates a Packages file, used by B (8), B (1), etc, to tell the user what packages are available for installation. These Packages files are the same as those found on Debian archive sites and CD-ROMs. You might use B yourself if making a directory of local packages to install on a cluster of machines.
