Re: oldstable-backports suite causes debmirror to choke

[Vivian Pots <vivian@chinstrap.org>]

Whoops; It's due to it expecting the suite to be set to 
oldstable-backports, rather than bullseye-backports, which it is 
currently set to. In the rest of the Debian repos, once stable moves to 
oldstable, their suite name changes too. debmirror relies upon this 
behavior, and thus backports not doing the same causes it to error out 
when fetching with the suite name.
