That's how I use it, too.

Sorry, that is very unlikely to happen. Being able to reuse the Packages
files verbatiml means the need to put the files in the same position as the
mirrorered distribution and not doing the pool based approach of putting
things at a place determined by the package as reprepro does.
(Currently (since around sarge I think) Debian puts all files in pool
and does not kept some old in dists and is thus using the same algorithm
to place those files, but that is only the current state).
This means that this would be a mostly distinct program in the same
binary, making both much harder to maintain.
Hochachtungsvoll,
