No, that's a home-grown solution that uploads files to S3, records the
metadata in a PG database, and generates+uploads the repository index
files each time something changes. Since the archive is append-only
that use-case is much more simple, just with the added complexity that
the .deb files aren't available locally (since we ran out of disk
space there).
