Then you say goodbye to crypto in main. Choose one, but not both. Besides,
what are you complaining about? Did you actually read the full description
of the new incoming system? The only stuff you will not be able to download
are NEW packages. And NEW means new to the archive, not updates of existing
packages in the archive.
We can only allow packages that have been notified to be downloaded from our
main archive. This includes incoming.d.o. Go bother the USA corporate state
government for that one.
