Phillipp, thanks. Nice to have reprepro how-to in quickstart.

Yegor, I see it's possible to create repo for several suites using reprepro.
See section 'First steps' at [1]. I've setup basic repo structure for
jessie and stretch. Seems to work.

One downside of freight is that it's not available in Debian archive
now.
