Well, with our current media architecture it is a no-go, since it would double the amount of repositories and with our current amount of repos changing configuration (e.g. to enable/disable Debug repos) either via urpmi.cfg or rpmdrake is already a major PITA. Before this can be considered, we need to change the configuration system so that entries (can) contain 'Distribution + options' (with a single flag for Debug, testing, etc), instead of current 'Media + options'. -- Anssi Hannula
