My ugly script:
#!/bin/bash
set -e
[ "$(id -u)" -ne 107 ] && exit 1
DIST_OLD="$1"
DIST_NEW="$2"
BASE_OLD="/media/tempdisk/mini-buildd/rep"
BASE_NEW="/var/lib/mini-buildd/repositories/zg"
cd $BASE_NEW
for packagesfile in $BASE_OLD/dists/$DIST_OLD/main/*/Packages; do
echo "process packages from $packagesfile"
< $packagesfile sed -n "/^Filename:[[:space:]]/{s||$BASE_OLD/|;p;}" | \
xargs --no-run-if-empty --max-args=1 --verbose reprepro --basedir $BASE_NEW
includedeb $DIST_NEW
done
for sourcesgzfile in $BASE_OLD/dists/$DIST_OLD/main/source/Sources.gz; do
echo "process sources form $sourcesgzfile"
< $sourcesgzfile gunzip | \
grep -E '^($|Package:|Directory:|Version:)' | \
awk '{print BASE_OLD "/" $6 "/" $2 "_" $4 ".dsc"}' FS="(\n|: )" RS="\n\n"
BASE_OLD="$BASE_OLD" | \
xargs --no-run-if-empty --max-args=1 --verbose reprepro --basedir $BASE_NEW
includedsc $DIST_NEW
done

It doesn't. That concept isn't explained in the docs btw, it should,
since it's not part of a naive reprepro setup.

I didn't know it at all, just figured out that it might be helpful. I
didn't get it to work immediately and wrote my own "solution".

It does. Thanks.
