project: vitual partial mirror with CGI/dpkg-repack

[Bill Allombert <allomber@math.u-bordeaux.fr>]

Hello developers,
this is a small project proposal.

The idea would be to write a cgi-script that automatically dpkg-repack the
package it is asked to deliver, so that we can build a virtual apt-get'able
partial mirror of the package installed on the box.

This would allow to upgrade a box from an already installed one without
any media.

I will not do it myself since I know nothing about CGI programming,
but I thing it could be fun and useful.

Cheers,
