The security mirror at security.debian.org appears to have a structure that is compatible with the main debian mirrors. If that appearance is an accurate reflection of reality then the updates/main/* tree should be compatible with the main/* tree. I use the term compatible to mean that a local mirror could be composed of the main archive plus the security updates and thus require a single entry in the client machine's sources.list file.
Is that appearance accurate? Can security update be stored in the same directory tree and accessed by clients transparently? If so, is it possible to merge the updates/* folders into the main repository or do they need to remain underneath updates/ ?
