mini-dinstall handles an incoming directory, and moves the packages into the pool itself. It supports two directory layouts, none of which does address the local needs of my local repository. Additionally, moving a package from one distribution to another (for example, from unstable to testing) seems to need a new upload with mini-dinstall, while it is a simple change in the dist list file with package-pool-helper. btw, I don't consider it a big waste of manpower to package something that is already there.
