Perhaps I didn't explain it clearly enough, but that is what I intended.
However, instead of having symmetrical masters, I intended for all .changes
files etc to get posted to master, with the .deb, .diff.gz and .orig.tar.gz
being sent to any of the other upload sites, whichever one is legal. That
way master can generate the Packages list, then our "sync" script would run
on each top-tier mirror and seek out the packages. I was hoping each of our
top-tiers could double as potential upload sites for developers. This
method is secure, for reasons I already outlined in the original proposal.
