I'm forwarding to the main developers list, as maintainers isn't heavily 
populated.

I've tries to test the debian packages and since I've seen the content in
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dotgnu-pnet
I've tested with the following lines in the /etc/apt/sources.list

# Portable.NET
deb ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dotgnu-pnet/debian unstable main
deb-src ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dotgnu-pnet/debian unstable main

But when I use an 'apt-get update' it does not work:

Failed to fetch
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dotgnu-pnet/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Pack
ages.gz Failed to fetch
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dotgnu-pnet/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/Sources.g
z

The reason is because they are in:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dotgnu-pnet/debian/Packages.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dotgnu-pnet/debian/Sources.gz

So, could you explain me how to use apt-get with that repository?

One solution could be to place simbolic links in that directory:
ln -s . dists
ln -s . unstable
ln -s . main
ln -s .binary-i386
ln -s .source
</one_posible_tricky_solution>

Thank you very much for your patience,
