We're discouraged, too. We'd just love to have some people become
Debian developers and to have them build updates of the packages that
need updates for use with the stable system. We're discouraged that we
aren't getting you to do that. We'd put them in a special directory
for the people who want that stuff, that would reach every one of our
mirrors. We can't understand why you would want to upload packages to
a third party site that will never have the full trust of Debian or its
users instead of going through the simple procedure of becoming a
Debian developer. Please reconsider.
