In fact, I have many system in Debian 7.9, around the world, in amd64
platform.
On each, I have standalone repository deb_7.9 amd64.
I would install another program that need i386 packages.

The most efficient would be to create deb_7.11 amd64 and i386 repository on
each platform (for migrate all servers, I agree), but it's too difficult
because I have low connection with my plateform, and it's wild be difficult
to copy all packages deb_7.11.

So, I would like to send just needed packages for my program, in deb_7.9
compatibility.

ie : some packages are critical : libc6 or linux-hedears for exemple.
