That is strange. when something is removed a clearvanishes (or the
appropiate --ignore like to not care about package indicies no longer
configured) should make everything work again.

I don't currently see a way to implement this. Reprepro has no inner
knowledge about what a specific apt method will do. So it cannot know
that a file:// URI will most likely just return some file to be
copied/hardlinked. And even if it guessed so, it would have to
second-guess what the original file would be, to know if it will be
copied or hardlinked (as cross-partition hard-links are not possible).
Another way for your use case, would have been to just hardlink
all files manualy, tell reprepro to include them all into its file
database (with the trick from the recovery file), and let it delete
all unneeded afterwards.
