I didn't understand what you meant first time. I think I got it now.
If I understand it well you mean having all packages in one directory
on server and the repos would be differentiated by some text files or
symlinks. The difference is really small (have all packages in one
place and link them vs. have current repository layout and move files
between directories on server).
