But :

sid/main/binary-all is a symlink to unstable/main/binary-all which is a symlink
to potato/main/binary-all which only contains a bunch of symlinks to
slink/main/binary-all, and some (for now at least) new packages.

since lftp mirroring capabilities don't follow symlinks, i will just remove all
my ~300MB of mirrored slink/main/binary-all packages, with symlinks to
inexistent packages, not the nicest way to do things.

Maybee i will have to change mirror porgram or look at lftp and add an option
for doing what i want.
