Bug#37294: apt does not acceppt current ftp.kde.org/pub/k[...]ion/deb layout

[Steffen Neumann <sneumann@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.1.9

It would be great if I could point apt to ftp.de.kde.org
and do an install/update just the way I do with 
ftp.de.debian.org.

Since apt expects to find a directory structure
similar to ftp ftp.de.debian if using the 

	deb ftp://ftp.de.kde.org ... stable kde

syntax in /etc/apt/sources.list this does not work
with the current layout of ftp.kde.org Even if the
KDE people change their layout, others might not.

I would like to see another type in addition to deb
that takes just a directory where the Packages file resides,
as done in 

ftp://ftp.de.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/distribution/deb/binary-i386/

So long,
Steffen
