Yep, 9265 is basically 5 copies of 633, the parts breakdown for 633 is
on Brickshelf as the "instructions" for the set. The tidbit of 5 copies
of 633 came from me, when I got a 9265, I also had received some 633
recently, and when I opened one of the 5 bags in 9265, the parts were
exactly the same quantities as 633 (which makes sense, why have two
different packaging sequences for such a set).
This is a great set because you get the 3x3 low roof corners.

I think the S@H service pack may be a little better for doors and
windows, though I've never seen a parts listing for the Dacta pack to
compare.
