010git                     -- pull changes from git
050checkinst               -- check if all needed packages are installed
100syncarchive             -- retrieve data from main Debian archive
100syncarchive_debports    -- retrieve data from debian-ports.org (m68k)
100syncarchive_installer   -- retrieve d-i data
100syncarchive_maintainers -- retrieve maintainer index
110debtags                 -- retrieve debtags vocabular
120synctrans               -- retrieve DDTP translations
200process_archive         -- convert all retrieved data to databases
                              (see BACKEND)
300maintainerdb            -- create data for @packages.d.o aliases
400changelogs_map          -- create changelogs map (for changelog: shortcut)
500update_po               -- update .pot and .po files and generate .gmo
600index_pages             -- create static index pages
                              <suite>/, <suite>/<subsection>, and

600prepare_newpkg          -- prepare data for newpkg sites
700install_static          -- install data from static/ to www/
