I've been updating the repository about once per day.  I just recently finished
automating the process, and the repository now contains 156 (package,version)
pairs for 142 packages.

I have put the repository up for viewing with viewcvs here:

http://alcor.ddts.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/debian/?cvsroot=Debian-test

Not surprisingly, the most oft-changed package is debconf, with 5 uploads in
the past 8 days.  Other packages with several revisions include rblcheck, cpio,
and console-data (all with 3 revisions).  Look to those packages if you want to
see anything interesting.

Note that all of the timestamps are invalid, as I've re-imported all of the
packages several times as I've improved the process.

There isn't too much to see yet, but this should whet your appetites.  Feedback
is appreciated.
