aptly publish repo followed by aptly publish update, missing packages

[fauust]

Hi!
I am not sure that this is actually an issue (or me not using aptly correctly).

Here is how we create the repo for Ubuntu:

aptly repo create -distribution=jammy jammy
aptly repo create -distribution=jammy jammy-debug

aptly repo add \
    -force-replace \
    jammy \
    PATH/*.deb

# debug packages
aptly repo add \
    -force-replace \
    jammy-debug \
    PATH/*.ddeb

aptly publish repo \
  -component="main,main/debug" \
  -distribution="jammy" \
  jammy jammy-debug ubuntu

The published repo is then uploaded to our mirrors and we have quite a lot
around the world. We would like to be able to add some deb/ddeb to some
releases (plugins) and not sync again the whole repo but just the extra deb/ddeb
and metadata.

I thought I could just add the new deb/ddeb and then run something like:

aptly publish update \
  jammy ubuntu

But this apparently removes from the local repository all the jammy-debug
content and I can't find the right command to update both jammy and
jammy-debug. Am I missing something or aptly publish update is not the
right command?

Aptly version: 1.6.3 on Debian 12.
