I would like to know if and how you handle wishes of departments to
keep older versions of software around and aptable. Afaik, reprepro
cannot handle archives that have multiple versions of a program in the
same distribution/suite and cannot be easily adapted to handle this.
It is, however, frequently demanded in enterprise that one needs to be
able to newly deploy a machine using old software to care for
reproducibility.
