You mean you mirror only part of the debs for one architecture?
If so, I would suggest you take the original Packages files and cut
out the relevant parts and cat them together in a new Packages file.


If you mirror only some architectures and only testing, testing has
its own Packages.gz files for each arch, nothing changes there.
Please use debian-mirror from sid and report any changes you would
like to see.
