experimental's suite and codename are the same so debmirror fails and
aborts when it tries renaming it.
e.g.
/usr/bin/debmirror: Created directory: .temp/.tmp/dists/experimental/
http://ftp.iinet.net.au//debian/debian/dists/experimental/Release => [0%]
Getting: dists/experimental/Release... 200 OK
ok
http://ftp.iinet.net.au//debian/debian/dists/experimental/Release.gpg => [0%]
Getting: dists/experimental/Release.gpg... 200 OK
ok
The directory for a dist should be its codename, not a suite.
Starting conversion - renaming '.temp/dists/experimental' to
'.temp/dists/experimental':
directory '.temp/dists/experimental' already exists; aborting conversion
