Components Overview

meta: This section contains Utopia-branded packages which ship my desktop settings and custom package sets (source).
imports: Extra packages that are either imported from an external source or not supported well enough (by me) to put in main. This section may include non-free content.
Instructions
This repository works like any other APT repository, and is signed using a PGP key. Both HTTP and verified HTTPS are available.
1) Add the repository to sources.list
I am using and would like the following sections:
2) Install the repository's PGP signing key
Download the latest utopia-keyring package over HTTPS and install it locally:
sudo apt-get install ./utopia-keyring_*_all.deb
Updates to the keyring set will be automatically applied afterwards.
3) Enjoy?!
After adding the repositories of your choice, simply run apt-get update to update your repository cache. Then, you will be able to install packages whichever way you like. (apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, etc.)
About
Why did I make this?
Simplicity. Instead of adding 5 repositories for the things I commonly use, I only need to add 1.
Convenience. This repository hosts a few meta-packages (utopia-* in main) to make it easier to pull in a working system. (forget selecting 30 individual packages!)
The learning experience. This is pretty self-explanatory. :)
