Package pools are the way it's going to stay, as far as I know; dists/
is mainly just there for compatibility and to provide somewhere for apt

What are you trying to do that doesn't involve apt? I'm sure somebody
could come up with a script that would do it for you, probably involving
the Filename: field in the Packages file.
