No idea whether what you're proposing is relevant or not....but
there's something I'm deeply sure of : that won't be solved through a
"general" bug report.

Such vague bug reports are usually either quickly closed....or just
ignored by everybody in the project.

Discussing infrastructure changes like what you're proposing (which I
have no advice about) should usually be done through our mailing
lists, get some kind of agreement, include some implementation in key
packages, and get enough consensus among developers to draw the needed
changes in the infranstructure (in this case, our software
repositories, at minimum).

So, zero chances that this happens through a (soon to be forgotten)
bug report. No offense, but that's reality.
