 Oh, great idea, thanks! I do already use reprepro for partial 
 mirroring (and have for similarly long), but never thought about 
 using it to create wholly new repositories from a loose collection 
 of debs and source packages. 
  
 My main concern with reprepro for that purpose is that its state 
 database can be a bit of a bear, but I could probably just blow it 
 away every time and pretend it's stateless. 
  
 I also don't need a complicated pool setup like the official package 
 repositories, but I guess having one isn't that big of a deal (even 
 if I'd prefer everything in a single flat directory for this use 
 case, like I get with apt-ftparchive). Or maybe reprepro can do that 
 too and I've just never noticed...
