Thanks, Markus. Let us know if this becomes a problem.

The mirror contains dists/ listings for sid and jessie from July 2013
and these are known to have issues with missing packages and broken
dependencies. It is possible to reconstruct a reprepro instance from an
existing file-only mirror but it needs to be thought through - simply
importing all .dsc and .deb files in pool/ will upgrade that repo to the
known-broken sid. The wheezy-grip Sources.gz and Packages.gz files
would need to be parsed and only the .dsc and .deb files imported into
a new repo.

If someone has the time and inclination to clean up the mirror in that
way, it would make the mirror itself more useful.
