Where? I just scoped out ftp.debian.org, and it, like my mirror, has
Packages.gz in binary-i386. No symlinks there.

Huh? Are you saying that of course you are mirroring binary-all since
you installed a lot of packages which require it?
Have you checked to see that some of the packages dselect is
complaining about are in place on your mirror, either in binary-i386
or as a symlink from there to binary-all? If so, then I don't know
what is going on. Have you tried dselect's "mounted" method? The
"mountable" method is great, but this could provide a good debugging
test.
