I use reprepro for exactly this purpose, and I only have about 10 debs
in it at any given time. reprepro just makes it easier to handle all
the Packages.gz/Release creation and signing. Adding new files is as
sinple as "reprepro include sid ..." and removing them "reprepro
remove sid ...", everything else is handled for you.
How is uploading complicated? I added a post-upload script to dupload
so I can just do (on any machine) "dupload --to sid foo.changes &&
apt-get update" and it all just works, I don't even have to log in to
the reprepro machine.
