Ok, The issue is triggered by the package-file.map file containing
entries of these files before the files themselves exist in the mirrored
and imported tree.
That causes the linking between the file and a source or binary package
to fail.
On the next mirrorrun's indexing however, the package-file.map entry is
not considered anymore (in --quick mode) because it was already in the
previous map file.
(For now, I've re-run some mirrorrun's index runs in non-fast mode.
Now ever .dsc file belongs to a src package, and every .deb is
associated with a binary package.)
