:  mirror from any nearest debian ftp server:

No, since this is _above_ the debian root.

: 	debian/hamm/hamm/*
:          main -> hamm
: 		   non-free/*
: 		   contrib/*
: 		   non-US -> ../../debian-non-US/hamm

Again, no, since this is above the debian root.

: 		     dists/unstable/non-US -> ../../hamm
: 
: mirror from nonus.debian.org is for nonus stuff only, 
: others can be mirrored from nearest debian ftp site.

That's clear, but I'd like to integrate the non-US stuff
completly under the debian root.

It should be easy for any mirror admin to either mirror
from a inside US ftp server and additional from nonus.debian.org
or completly from outside the US.

: 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.

... again, I'd like to see the non-US stuff in the same hierarchy as
the non-free and contrib, _below_ the debian root dir.
