TIL.
dgit ought to be able to support this but I think I need to know more
about it to decide how.
Some questions I didn't find answered elsewhere:
Does it run on DSA infrastructure? Do packages migrate between it
and the main archive at all? Is there any official recognition
of these suite names from a namespace point of view?

That sounds plausible but I think I need to think about it.

The aptget archive query method is very bad. It may suffice here. I
can't remember all the things that are wrong with it. It may be
inadequate for a read/write suite. I'll have to look into this.
Maybe the madison method would work better.
I notice that both the madison and aptget methods have
`file_in_archive` and `package_not_wholly_new` stubbed out, but there
seems to be cdoe to cope with this situation.
I think we might have to make a change on the dgit git server to allow
pushing to -fasttrack suites.

This error message suggests a bug in the perl code.
I don't think I will have time to investigate this very soon - I'm
abou to go away for a week. Feel free to ping if nothing happens
after several weeks...
Thanks,
Ian.
