Ah, i see what you mean now.

<http://ftp.debian.org/dists/etch> has:

[   ] Contents-amd64.gz       16-Nov-2006 15:20  10.0M  
[   ] Contents-i386.gz        13-Nov-2006 15:59  10.3M  

One can also search <http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages>
and then there are commandline tools like apt-file for searching 
the package servers.

ok, a list like that is a good starting point for any further scripting.

oops,

~mi: checdep --install-missing swaret_dev-2.0.0_test3-noarch-1.tgz 
checdep: Processing, please wait...
checdep: Going to install missing dependencies as requested
checdep: FOUND 
ftp://ftp.sunet.se:21/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-9.1
checdep: FOUND 
ftp://ftp.sunet.se:21/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-9.1/FILELIST.TXT
checdep: Going to install "Slackware 9.1"
checdep: This may take a while...
