Where are you setting up the deb repository? We're considering something similar for Apache CouchDB, and I am thinking about using a.o/dist, but infra might not be happy with that. I would be concerned about linking to a binary distribution on non-ASF hardware. But a.o/dist gets pounded with requests enough as it is, without hosting a reprepro deb repository on it. (Which should be perfectly doable, from a technical POV.)
