Sorry that I write so late but I'm not reading debian-devel regularly.
I've started a solution to distribute Debian mirrors by rsync about 2
years ago. The only "impact" (if impact is the right word) of my
soultion on Debian is the use of the rsync patch for gzip. Everything
else is solve by my perl script so you might find ideas for your apt
solution there. See "http://dpartialmirror.sourceforge.net/";.
