You cannot go there easily and say "ls".  The updating takes a few minutes 
which I though it too long and might be helped by smaller dirs, too, but this 
is a speculation.

We have all, i386 and amd64 packages all in one directory with ppc expected to 
join from David. To have the archs separated would be the least of an 
activity I thinking about. But there may be other ideas, too.

The number of commands to type should be minimal for uploading and the 
maintenance. The number of project-specific knowledge should be minimal, too.

Cheers,

Steffen
