Debian stuff must be indexed in some files (Release, Packages.gz,...) so
that it becomes available with apt.
Currently, the stuff available on developer.pgadmin.org is totally out
of date and the prefered version to use is the one in the Official
Debian archive. I'm really sorry about this situation but, as you know,
I really lack free time.
If all of this can wait a bit, I'll try to do some cleaning in the next
days. If it can't, I'd suggest you remove all the stuff but we might
hear (rightly unhappy) users crying around here.

If you want to be able to handle all the indexing by yourself (at least
for the snapshots), I could try to install the required Debian stuff on
developer.pgadmin.org (this is only perl scripts if I remember well).
What do you think about it ?
