I did not know that apt.openstreetmap.org <http://apt.openstreetmap.org>

It doesn't really exist.
I created the name, and pointed it at a web site, and tried to work out
how to set it up as an APT repository. I was however largely defeated by
my normal inability to get my head round Debian style packaging and
package distribution.
My googling at the time turned up hilarious documents that listed about
a dozen ways to create a repository, all of which seemed to be insanely
complicated compared to what I'm used to on Fedora (aka dump the
packages in a directory and run createrepo).
The intention was anyway to create a repository for internal use for
distributing packages among our servers rather than to serve external
users though I guess it could do both.
If there is somebody out there that would like to setup that repository
properly and look after building packages and making them available then
I would be very happy to talk to them.
