I agree this is currently a problem, the solutions are currently either too heavy weight, or too limited ( https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Setup).

What I've been wanting to do is to add a better alternative to the dpkg suite, something that can generate a fully functional repo, matching current standards, something like a dpkg-genrepository or similar (which would supersede dpkg-scanpackages and dpkg-scansources, and perhaps even major parts of mini-dak, which would avoid the need to rewrite it from scratch).
