I tried bootstrapping from debian-ports, but that results in a hideous mess. I also get lots of warnings from the kernel complaining about inconsistent aliases, which suggests something might be miscompiled too. > > Would it be possible to shuffle things around on the mirror please? > > It'd be > > great to have something recent working again, as I'm still on Sarge... > > > At the moment, I don't think we have an InRelease file.

AFAICT, an InRelease file isn't needed if you have Release and Release.gpg (we do). If they are moved under dists/, then that should be enough to get past this roadblock, although I think the Packages file will also need some work (probably regenerating) so that it doesn't include paths relative to the current directory.
