Should apt-ftparchive be listed on
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Setup ?

currently that page is just a list of software, most of which dont seem
to be under active development, and/or are not packaged. it would be
great it was more helpful about how to do local repositories (even if it
just linked to other guidance or pages).

(ps, reprepro is great, but i fear 1119179 might kill it off? i hope i am wrong)
