Extending Debian repos
We want to enable:
- Automatic enumeration of suites for a repository
- Automatic enumeration of repositories for a distro
This page is for exploring the existing solutions, existing hardcoding and requirements for services.
Existing solutions

Has the same problems as hardcoding elsewhere but better than hardcoding in lots of places.

Has a configuration file listing all suites with metadata about all of them.
