Um, so we bring potentially dodgy stuff onto a debian site. And you think
users *read* the message that says "this stuff is not to be trusted", let
alone *understand* it?
As it stands now, people are free to provide repositories of extra or
updated stuff for Debian systems. The fact that there is no such repository
(at least not that I've heard of) that fits your description indicates to me
that all the people who know enough to set one up also know that it would be
a bad idea.
Cheers,
Nick
