I have that - only thing is, each "Data Disk" has a set of packages,
and some packages are on more than one disk. A classic example is
the editors: elvis.lrp, nano.lrp, and zile.lrp - they are on multiple
disks. If I miss one... uhoh.
Also, if I modify a package under LRP, then the package contained
under Debian Slink will be older than that on disk.... uhoh.
I've also noticed that gzip under LRP compresses differently than
that under Debian; so a "backup" of a package (even without changes)
will be different than that on the development system.... uhoh.
This doesn't include attempting to maintain the images (under
Debian), or trying to maintain the FTP and TFTP sites....
