This is expected. All the distributions are symlinked together at the
start, and then as new packages are added to the newer distribution,
the symlinks are replaced by the newer files. To avoid this problem,
you need to either use mirror's "flags_recursive+L" option, or run a
command to "flatten" the symlinks.
