I have to reiterate: The overhead of building apt repos is close to
zero. How do you think GWDG is able to maintain this amount of apt-repos
(They are providing apt-repos for almost all existing 3rd party repos
for SuSE).

I don't know (I don't use SuSE nor x86_64), but as it seems to me, it's
multilibbed:

ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.3-x86_64/RPMS.base/

I don't know which trick SuSE applies rpm-wise, but AFAICT, their
apt-get sources are the same as FE's.
