A little warning on debmirror though. If you want to mirror
debian-installer and source, disks-<arch>, different archs for
main/contrib/non-free / woody/sarge/sid or only some with source you
will need some tricks. Its possible but its not straight forward.
debmirror V2 or debpartial-mirror should solve that.
