You have not understood...
I mean, all pics are in the same location, but can easyly installed
using apt and friends and noone must download the whole tarballs.
But you said create 15000 DEBs, and that is not a good idea. Until
dpkg switches to a different backend database I will not use them.
Even Modem or ISDN-Users would like to see screenshots of some
packages/programs and huge tarballs are no sulution.
I have allready tried to install 16.000 Debian Packages at once...
I have sucked from winamp.com all Skins and packed them up seperatly. ;-)
Sorry, currently I have no appartement and my server is down...
