He definitely has a point. I do in fact mirror most external pages so they
get distributed with the Debian pages. When I do is the question.
I generally wait until the evening to do that sort of work so I can get it
done quickly (faster response). I also wait until the location of the files
being mirrored is stable so I don't need to make changes later. Keeping the
web pages up to date and free of errors takes a lot more time than you'd think.
In short, as long as the files are accessible by ftp, no world writable
directories are necessary on master.
