For this you might want to take a look at dpkg-ftp_1.5.1 (in
experimental); however, you won't like it if you're paying for phone
calls...
I sent a patch to Klee (against 1.4.9) allowing timestamp check, thus
addressing your 1st point. For the 2nd one, I currently use the
following as /var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/vars:
$ftpsite='ftp.debian.org';
$passive='1';
$username='ftp';
$password='root@';
$ftpdir='/pub/debian';
$distribs='hamm/hamm hamm/non-free hamm/contrib';
$dldir='debian';
Then I can have as 'Packages' files:
/var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/Packages..._debian-non-US
/var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/Packages.hamm_contrib
/var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/Packages.hamm_main
/var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/Packages.hamm_non-free
/var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/Packages.bo_main
/var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/Packages.project_experimental
...
BTW, support for 'experimental' is also included in my patch;
I may mail it to anyone asking for it.
To Klee: do you plan to release a 1.4.x including this patch ?
