The index package for a complete PyPI mirror is pretty long (too long to 
be loaded and to be parsed). In addition we would have to update the 
index page for our internal egg server upon every change. We do that 
right now but it sux. Using 'index' is appearently much cleaner and 
resource-friendly.
