Try Joey Hess' debmirror:
http://cvs.kitenet.net/~checkout~/joey-cvs/bin/
debmirror?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain
(merge onto one line)
You can have it mirror multiple distributions, multiple sections,
multiple architectures, whatever. Mirroring woody binaries and sid
sources might take two runs and a bit of thought (--nocleanup will
probably come in handy).
