This is the same thing as I implemeted earlier this summer with
apt-ftparchive, and it will not work with secure apt as it requires a
signed Release file to also be generated, which needs a gpg key to be
set up and so on.

It's used in get-packages, but only if exported. get-packages is rather
over-designed and under-coded for what it does.
