You can extract the dists to build the trees as well.  I did this recently to 
update ~1200 boxes over a one-way satellite link. :)  This would also let you 
not require that people install a fixed-set of distributions but let them 
subscribe to multiple distribution sets if desired since you can recreate any 
configuration by extracting the appropriate set of dists into a work area.
