Unfortunately it is currently blocked by an unsolved design question: Namely how to reliably decide for each distribution whether to associate it with a new APT or verbatim publication, and whether any APT publications should use structured and/or simple mode.

This feature is also not of very high priority to the plugin maintainers, so if you do want to help move it along, it would be helpful, if you could drive the design discussion. Perhaps you could say how exactly you would like this feature to work. (In what order are you creating repos, repo versions, publications, and distributions? Are your publications using APT and/or verbatim publisher and what modes is the APT publisher using?
