I don't believe blagg is packaged, but it's just a short
script. blosxom is packaged in sid, at least.
The two of them make it easy to set something like this up:

blagg is used to grab from rss feeds (you can do it in a cron job if
you like), and blosxom is used to publish the data.
The advantage of this approach is that you can read from any machine
with a web browser if you set it up on a net-facing machine, and you
can style it however you please.
