Without actually having used debfoster earlier, it seems that it is more
intended to be run manually by a user -- pkgsync is intended as a fully
automated tool run from cron (ie. an extended cron-apt). Also, pkgsync is
probably more lightweight in that it uses aptitude for almost all its logic;
debfoster keeps a lot of information `on the side' of apt, it seems.
