the Meta-Distribution handling was in fact broken, so I have chosen a
better title for this bug.

So, 1.0.25...

* Fixes this, so these uploads actually build ;).
* Adds error handling against ambiguity in Meta-Distributions.
* Adds "debdev" repository wizard (and some extra test builds) to my personal 
testing gear.
* Adds some more doc about this special feature in the "Online" manual:

Hope this makes work what you aim to achieve.

Fwiw, your initial bug title speaks of "repository structure similar to
official repo". This is not what the "Meta-Distributions" feature does,
it's not really more than a mapping of incoming changes distributions
to actual mini-buildd (x-y-z) distributions.

This also means there is currently no way to access a meta distribution
like "unstable" (i.e., by that very naming) via sources.lists. I guess
that might be feasable however (we would need to check what reprepro
offers here?); if you need that, too, it would be nice to open a new
wishlist bug for that.

Hth!
