for MAILTO - I only put quotes there to note it has to be quoted if it
contains more addresses. Do as you wish. Maybe I had to send more patches,
one for each issue.

no... I only changged debian-mirror.log to RSYNC_DIR-mirror.log, translating
optional slashes to underscores. It does not change the directory where the
log is stored, only changes its name, if the RSYNC_DIR is not "debian"
(one variable less to change).

I added the trailing slash where it's needed, I removed it from here because

do as you want. I still can edit it locally. Btw I think that searching last
log in .0 violates the "least surprise", so from my point of view I fixed
this.

oh, didn't get it :) OK.
