but i think you miss something... with debmirror, it doesn't ever do a
recursive listing.  it gets the Packages/Sources/Release files, and then
gets stuff as it should be gotten according to that. 

i just hacked in http into the debmirror script, and it seems to (almost)
work.  wow, the things i do with my time...  i'll see about cleaning it
up and submitting a patch :)
