A packages.gz file is for an entire archive (1 for main, 1 for contrib
...etc) but it contain all sections (admin, base...). I don't think that
debmirror rebuild the packages.gz file when you exclude some section, so
every package in excluded section are in packages.gz but not in your
mirror. Perhaps, you can try to rebuild the packages.gz file with the
apt-ftparchive tool to fit your need.
