With my mirroradm hat, I'd like to remind the mirroring guidelines:
http://www.debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror 

While you cannot exclude dists/sources, you can exclude archs based on their

Feel free to contact us at mirrors@debian.org (or
debian-mirrors@lists.debian.org) when your mirror meets the guidelines and is
ready (or for any other question).
