well, i will try the new upload of debpartial-mirror when i get the
chance(though it may be a couple weeks), but i do have a working
dependency resolver with reprepro now, and rsync for the non-packaged
files. the reprepro + rsync method is actually much faster than
debpartial-mirror, so it might become the default. 

but now i feel confident that we can support both methods for
simple-cdd, and if one is broken, we can fall back on the other easily
:)

with a little more work, i think we could upload simple-cdd to sid.

live well,
