Uhm, I never really had updates of stable Debian releases in mind since 
they won't let me update anyways.

Aha. But it would make even more sense to directly advertise your deb 
and deb-src repositories, right? I don't seem to be allowed to connect 
tohttp://theor.jinr.ru/~varg/debian/hep, though. I'm getting Error 403, 
access forbidden.
