Note we can access ftp.debian.org backends, that may give different figures
that access to security archive.
We also have the chance to have some very responsive admins of officials
mirrors, we can come with a script they may run.

IP address are no longer present in access log, I guess DSA did that change
for anonymity purpose, but it makes conclusions from logs parsing more difficult..

That gives, on August 2013, grepping Packages hits on security mirrors (before
tests with fastly):
squeeze or oldstable
lzma 963925
bz2 20508309
gz 3217917
total 24690151
wheezy or stable
lzma 27859
bz2 5594851
gz 143140
total 5765850
jessie or testing
lzma 2908
bz2 561183
gz 32010
total 596101
so:
squeeze 79.5%
wheezy 18.5%
jessie 1,9%

I need to clean my scripts a bit, and check with DSA how we can integrate that
to a role account.
