On a woody system, apt-ftparchive(1) (in the apt-utils package) is
also available. It is almost the same as dpkg-scanpackages(8) or
dpkg-scansources(8). The differences are:
* If there are two or more versions of the same package in the binary tree,
dpkg-scanpackages complains and picks one randomly, while
apt-ftparchive generates the Packages file for every version.
* If you use apt-ftparchive, the override file is completely optional.
If it is not specified, the priority and the section of a package is
scanned from the control file of the package.
* Optionally, apt-ftparchive can generate the contents file.
If you have root privilege on your web server, debarchiver may be useful.
