i kinda enjoyed crafting it. sometimes it helps clarify the
flotsam rattling around the cranium when you put it into words.
i can't believe that nobody saw the flaw, tho...

for the directory structure, have a look at one of the FTP sites
that mirror a debian distribution. there's a list at
http://www.debian.org/misc/README.mirrors to get you started.
scrounge around there to find a few common denominators between
different mirrors, and emulate that.
(this is what i'd do until i find that there is a document out
there that points the way. which will probably be about seven
minutes after i send this missive.)
for example: my cursory investigation shows --
dists/
+ potato/
+ Contents-*.gz
+ contrib/
+ binary-*/
+ source/
+ main/
+ binary-*/
+ source/
+ non-free/
+ binary-*/
+ source/
+ stable@ <symlink to potato>
+ unstable@ <symlink to woody>
+ woody/
+ Contents-*.gz
+ contrib/
+ binary-*/
+ source/
+ main/
+ binary-*/
+ source/
+ non-free/
+ binary-*/
+ source/
as far as massaging your /var/cache/apt/* stuff, that's
probably what apt-move is for, but i've not investigated
that just yet.

most of your clan don't advertise. (my sister-in-law
sure doesn't!)
