not a script i guess, but there might be a way to mount an iso up,
extract packages from it - get a listing from a current debian
mirror and then munge the files extracted into the "right"
directories they should be in.
it's do-able even with a 64Kbps link - but the problem is that
it's a one off - i don't think you can use it to keep the pseudo
mirror up to date given the volume of debian changes.
