This sounds a lot like the debsnap tool in the devscripts package. Cheers, James

This sounds a lot like the debsnap tool in the devscripts package. I was not aware of that tool. Sorry. Would have saved me some work...

Others already have pointed to debsnap. This is just to state that navigating the web interface is not the way to access snapshot programatically. There's an interface documented at [1] and linked from the snapshot front-page.
