freshmeat.net has done a pretty decent job of this.  Anyone know if
there is an apt sources.list entry-thingy for freshmeat?  I'm pretty
sure they don't store the available .debs locally, but could it be
possible to provide an apt mirror (what _are_ thoes things called?)
from a crapload of links to .debs? (obviously there would be
reliability issues... and it would be difficult to keep the file list
up-to-date, but damn, it'd be cool :)
