sorry - I didn't catch that you wanted the base OS in an apt repository,
forgive my ignorant reply.

As for Dag's repository and his packaging...I think it's rather superb
and I haven't a clue what your gunpoint reference is actually about.
Every server that I have WBEL, CentOS or RHEL installed on has either
apt or yum pointing to Dag's repository (yum on CentOS and WBEL), apt on
RHEL.

It would seem that Johnny Hughes offered the most fruitful perspective -
that CentOS offers more bells and whistles at this point but given the
previous problems WBEL had with mirrors, I got the impression that many
had gone to rsync'ing WBEL repository to somewhere on their own networks
for higher availability and perhaps this affords an opportunity to add
the necessary structure for apt.
