Not until bo becomes stable. I know this setup is nonideal for people
who only mirror unstable, but most do mirror the whole distribution.
It's rude to have hundreds of megs of duplicate files. bo has ~100
meg of unique files right now, most of which is XFree 3.2.
Can you suggest a better solution?

That sounds like it work, assuming that symlinked directories aren't
flattened. Otherwise you'll have to filter out the symlinked
directories.
