-Currently snapshot.debian.net is operated by a single individual on their
-hardware at home. It is a service archiving old binary and source packages.
-Access to old packages, which have in the meantime been deleted from the
-regular debian archive, allows Developers and Users to debug upgrade problems,
-to check when regressions were introduced, to check if old packages had been
-miscompiled, to downgrade to older versions while bugs are being fixed etc.

-Requirements:
-
-* Two systems with sufficient storage, hosted somewhere not in the US (so we
-  can import old non-US into it).
-* Storage should be at least on the order of 8T (currently snapshot.d.n is
-  using about 4T), and easily expandable

-I'd like to use Ubuntu's merge-o-matic to generate diffs between Debian's
