Im' using dak since years and dak have commands to import existing
repository.

I never used these commands because I've started dak from scratch.

You can also ask for help from the dak maintainers.

| dak import-repository
|   --keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg
|   [--key=${fingerprint}]
|   [--architectures=a,b,c (default: architectures in origin suite)]
|   [--components=main,contrib (default: components in origin suite)]
|   [--target-suite=${suite} (default: origin suite name)]
|   [--add-overrides]
|   [--max-packages=${n} (import at maximum ${n} packages, default: no limit)]
|   http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable
| 
| Things to think about:
|  - Import Built-Using sources
|    - all / only referenced
|  - Remove old packages:
|    - by-source: remove source X_v, if no X exists upstream
|    - by-version: remove source X_v, if no X_v exists upstream
|    (X denotes package name, v version, X_v package at a specific version)
|  - Import all or only newest?
|  - Expire binary packages?
