I've just started looking at this sort of thing - can I ask what technology you decided on for the apt repo?

(I'm especially interested in whether the restriction most of them impose on having multiple versions of a package is something you are dealing with).

I use mini-dinstall for repos. Multiple versions would complicate things however; I'd probably do it by combining multiple suites.

Late reply, sorry. I went with reprepro to maintain my apt repo.

It's nice, but has one major drawback which may be a showstopper, depending on your use case. It can only keep one version of a package at a time in each distribution.
