[read my previous semi-proposal] this has some more benefits,
1) package maintainer could upload (to pool) in whatever frequency they like. 2) release is seperated from package pool which is a storage system. and release is a qa system. 3) release could be managed through BTS on specific package-gz.deb that surely would put much more burden on BTS, ;-) 4) if apt-get could deal it well, i hope all of sub-mirror'ing issue will be gone easily. just apt-get install some-rel-packages-gz then apt-get mirror (just like download and move ...) my more 2'c ;-) zw
