And for non-US stuff having int the Packages file as follows?
Filename: non-US/binary-i386/bzip_0.21-3.deb
or
Filename: dists/stable/non-US/binary-i386/bzip_0.21-3.deb

Again for non-US as follows?
Filename: dists/unstable/non-US/binary-i386/bzip_0.21-3.1.deb

If the Filename: in the Packages file for non-US is like above, then
How about this?
mirror from any nearest debian ftp server:
debian/bo/*
debian/non-free/*
debian/contrib/*
debian/non-US -> ../debian-non-US/bo
debian/dists/stable/main -> ../../bo
contrib -> ../../contrib
non-free -> ../../non-free
non-US -> ../../non-US
debian/stable -> debian/bo/
debian/hamm/hamm/*
main -> hamm
non-free/*
contrib/*
non-US -> ../../debian-non-US/hamm
mirror from nonus debian ftp server:
debian-non-US/bo/*
hamm/*
non-US -> bo/
dists/stable/non-US -> ../../non-US
dists/unstable/non-US -> ../../hamm
mirror from nonus.debian.org is for nonus stuff only,
others can be mirrored from nearest debian ftp site.
I think it will work fine if debian-non-US is the next to debian directory
and almost non-us debian ftp site already has such layout.
