Are you sure 4 levels is deep enough? ;)

As far as the debian stuff goes, I hope to see it go into debian
archives at some point.  (I've been quite a slacker at getting that done
though.)  Then gstreamer site may just be for dev versions or
something...

It's actually rather convienient for me to just do that as
/releases/debian/{a52dec,mpeg2dec,gstreamer} and maybe just move the
gstreamer dir stuff to a subdir 0.2.1 when we move to next version.
Makes it easier to run scripts to generate Packages.gz and Sources.gz.
What is this "prereq" stuff?  I'm just going to let apt handle it. ;)
And maybe add something in a README about where to get LAME debs and so
on.

Anyway, I think just adding more dirs is going to make things confusing.
KISS principle.  Are people really going to need old redhat rpms?  We
could just leave old versions as source tarballs only.

Better make it no more than 1 link.  Otherwise us lazy developers will
forget to do it.
