+*stagepkg* allows to move Debian packages between different mini-dinstall[1]
+managed repositories.  This is usually used to stage a package from one quality
+stage to another. E.g.  if you have the stages 'unstable', 'testing' and
+'stable' for a software component you could use:
+
+  stagepkg -f foo/unstable -t foo/testing -k 0x3f3e6426 bar
+
+to move package bar from the repository foo/unstable to foo/testing.
