True, a partial mirror should probably also be covered. (At least when
the partiality consists of excluding certain architectures. If certain
*packages* are excluded, it would probably be a good idea to exclude
the non-free archive too).

Again, there is nothing in "specific to Debian" that implies anything
about anything being signed by anyone.
If it can be distributed by th mirrors of the Debian archive, then
it's OK for non-free, even if the permission to distribute through
Debian mirrors is specific to Debian.
