mini-dinstall handles an incoming directory, and moves the packages
into the pool itself. It supports two directory layouts, none of which
does address the local needs of my local repository.
Additionally, moving a package from one distribution to another (for
example, from unstable to testing) seems to need a new upload with
mini-dinstall, while it is a simple change in the dist list file with
package-pool-helper.
btw, I don't consider it a big waste of manpower to package something
that is already there.
Greetings
Marc
