Karl, Jason and Sam,
Thanks. I'm starting on the deb mirror first.
debmirror \
--method=rsync \
--host=ftp.no.debian.org \
--nosource \
--progress \
--dist=lenny \
--arch=powerpc \
--dry-run \
/var/mirror/debian/ppc/
Not all the debian mirrors appear to support rsync. The Finnish,
Danish, and Swedish mirrors give the error below.[1] The Austria,
German, and Norwegian ones do appear to support rsync but complain about
ssh.
Specifically, the repository seems to want either and SSH key or a
password for the anonymous connection. The debmirror instructions in
the man page don't mention a key.

[1] It doesn't seem to like something about rsync there:
Mirroring to /var/mirror/debian/ppc/
from rsync://[email protected]//debian/
Arches: powerpc
Dists: lenny
Sections: main,contrib,non-free,main/debian-installer
Will clean up AFTER mirroring.
Download at most 200 files per rsync call.
Pdiff mode: use.
Dry run.
Attempting to get lock, this might take 2 minutes before
it fails.
Get Release files.
