For home use I can only recommend reprepro. It is trivial to setup and will just take a few seconds to change the url when the Debian gets amd64. The drawback is that it won't be a 1:1 mirror. The Packages, Sources and Release files will be remade and resigned with your own gpg key. So this is only suitable for internal use. The big advantage is that you can easily combine different sources into a single archive. For example I have amd64.debian.net amd64+source ftp.de.debian.org i386+mips+mipsel+m68k+source security.debian.org amd64+i386+mips+mipsel+m68k+source and in my sources.list I just have deb http://storage/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free You can also keep security seperate from sarge if you like with a slightly different config. E.g one resulting in deb http://storage/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free deb http://storage/debian/ sarge-security main contrib non-free When amd64 enters Debian sid I just edit the config and I will also get updates from there.
