Usually, I recommend not to try to make full archive copy to reduce our
server load. But if you are careful, this may be a simpler solution
than fixing apt-zip. You may also avoid some parts of archive. These
debian package maybe useful to be as efficient as possible to make
partial mirror.
debmirror http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/debmirror.html
(This is made by debhelper developer and current)
apt-mirror http://apt-mirror.sourceforge.net/
http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/apt-mirror.html
apt-p2p http://www.camrdale.org/apt-p2p/
