You mean each architecture?

apt-cross is one start - it will be easier with the new rewrite (0.2.9)
but that isn't ready for an upload yet. It isn't something it was
designed to do - it would mean a lot of cache downloads for the first
run but much quicker for subsequent runs.

The alternative is that the filename in each mirror is predictable for
each arch - a simple reg exp should be sufficient. If you like working
in Perl, you could look at the SVN code for apt-cross
(www.emdebian.org) and adapt that. (The new version works with
libapt-pkg-perl and apt-get.)

The cache handling in that code could also detect the .dsc and that
would provide the rest of the data.

Just some ideas.
