Do all the official Debian mirrors support symlinks?

Reprepro only mirrors packages, so only looks at dists/N/C/debian-installer/
stuff and gets the udebs. This it should not be affected by your proposal,
if I understand it correctly.
With my reprepro author hat on, the installer-* stuff is only a nuisance
making it more hard to have a tidy dists/ dir. (Which is one of the rough
edges in reprepro, it only ever adds stuff to dists/ and never deletes it
but leaves that to the user).
Thanks for asking,
