Code lives here: https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/d-i/trunk/scripts/dose4udebs-wrapper?view=log https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/d-i/trunk/scripts/dose4udebs?view=log called from a crontab entry: ./dose4udebs-wrapper /srv/mirrors/debian dose.tmp $WWW/dose You might have to tweak it a bit to run it locally and to allow for custom packages. > Also, would it be possible to perform these checks not only on sid but > also on sid + experimental?

I suspect one might consider dropping all binaries from sid for which sources have an updated version in experimental, and picking all binaries from said updated sources. But I fear edge cases might pop up. Might be worth implementing anyway though. KiBi.
