I am maintaining the [extra] repo, when I am not here (i.e the 15th
August ;) ), AxXium do it.
If I understand, you say, that this repo is not well maintained because
of an error, whaouhh, you are very tolerant ;), I would like to be like
you and never do some errors.

For the .dep files errors, I think it's up to the packagers to check,
and then, post it, like gapan do it, in FIFO.
The .dep files are not written by myself in the repo, I upload the .dep
file provided by the packager, nothing else, and I didn't check always
if this .dep file is good or not.
