Sure, it's in the binary mirrors along with its dependencies. You can
just do an apt-get update; apt-get install chicken-sqlite3 . The tests
included in the egg all passed on my n900.

I haven't had a need to make a long term plan for other eggs yet.
Obviously pulling them into my repository is a really bad idea, since
the vast majority won't need any changes. The procedure for creating
new eggs is really easy though, cd to the repository, chicken-install
-r name, debianize-egg/debianize-egg name, if that fails see what
dependency caused it to fail, rise and repeat, and you end up with a
bunch of debs.
I think I'll write a quick script tomorrow to automate the recursive
fetching and pushing into the deb repository, that should pretty much
do it for most of the eggs, and it'll let me purge a few of them from
my source repository.
