First of all, the frantic use of "use strict" has broken quite a few
scripts, but that can be worked around. :)
There was a problem with the file format of
repository/info/{binary,source}-packages files, the first line didn't seem
to contain the right string. I've hacked around that.
The biggest issue is that the function that gets the names of the
source/binary packages does 'find <mirrordir>/dists/foo -type f -name
*.dsc' to locate those files, which of course fails with the pool. We need
to parse the Sources file, I think.
See lully.debian.org:/sda2/joy/ for all the files...
