Seems like a natural thing to do.
I use reprepro for exactly this purpose, and I only have about 10 debs in it at any given time. reprepro just makes it easier to handle all the Packages.gz/Release creation and signing. Adding new files is as sinple as "reprepro include sid ..." and removing them "reprepro remove sid ...", everything else is handled for you. How is uploading complicated? I added a post-upload script to dupload so I can just do (on any machine) "dupload --to sid foo.changes && apt-get update" and it all just works, I don't even have to log in to the reprepro machine.
