According to man pages they would seem to do at least part of the work,
but it wasn't on quick reading clear how I would actually use them
(I have no experience with maintaining or creating repositories).

For example if:
- I've built in Scratchbox ARMEL packages "a.deb" & "b.deb"
- I'am outside of Sbox in the directory where these packages are
- the device memory card is mounted to /media/n810/ on my Debian
   Desktop

What I need to do to get a "repository" created under
/media/n810/repository/?
