Oh, that's not very good. Probably worth a wishlist bug.

I *think* you just need to do
ls -lR . | gzip > ls-lR.gz
find . -type f -printf '%P\n' | xargs md5sum | gzip > indices/md5sums.gz
Pass an argument to gzip for more or less compression/CPU usage. Run
that once the debarchiver cron script's run.

I thought dput was meant to have superseded dupload? Having said that,
I still use dupload...
Or, given this is only a temporary archive until we get space on
ftp-master, just require people to either drive sftp by hand or hack
up a script to do it?

Well, I think I've given you the "code" you need now :)
