Well, then that sadly doesn't actually fix the bug that I had reported.
We (still) don't want Debian mirrors in the wild without the trace files,
ever, because then our own checking scripts have a hard time with figuring
out where the mirror is updated from, as do any non-local users, obviously.
It also (continues to) set a bad precedent to have something called
'debmirror' conflict with Debian's official mirror documentation. :)
