My first run before reprepro was this, but without configuration and
deeper understanding. I aim not only for solutions, but for a deeper
understanding. The tool apt-ftparchive didn't fullfill my ecpectations
and needs. Maybe a lack of patience, I don't know.

Yes, the problem is solved. How can the apt-ftparchive tool support the
average admin expectacion and why is this not default? I'm glad someone
pointed me to the reprepro tool, and with Peter's help I've got the
conf which fullfills my dreams. I took care about the missing line
in the Debian wiki page[1]. I got the conf template from there. I
improved the wiki page with our results in a conservative way, hoping
to find agreement about the topic.
