Cool, thanks for that. I believe you may want to look at reprepro :

| Description: debian package repository producer
|  reprepro is a tool to manage a repository of Debian packages
|  (.deb, .udeb, .dsc, ...). It stores files either being
|  injected manually or downloaded from some other repository
|  (partially) mirrored into one pool/ hierarchy.
|  Managed packages and files are stored in a Berkley DB,
|  so no database server is needed.
|  Checking signatures of mirrored repositories and creating
|  signatures of the generated Package indices is supported.
