re:(1)
www.d.o uses absolute path on every page
and /lang/path/page style link will able to keep only on the translated pages,
ie: untranslated pages cannot have /untranslated-lang/path/page link
and it cannot continue to keep
this may be able to fixed by make's environment variable though
re:(2)
in the past, debian www mirrors were hosted on many domains like ftp.**.d.o,
and of course they had the same content on them.
is this really a issue to care about?
re:(1-3)
how about let all mirrors have vhosts, eg: www.(en|fr|de|da|es|ja...).debian.org,
using different language priority configrations (care about only one and en as fallback),
eg: www.fr use language priority fr en
www.de use language priority de en
www.es use language priority es en
this way, the issues may become easier to fix
