debmirror, once the keys are set up in the right directories and with
the right value in $GNUPGHOME, works well with rsync.  ( An unfortunate
surprise is that mount and parted on lenny-ppc don't appear to work with
gpt partition tables. That's easy enough to work-around at this stage.   )

the mirrors, but would like to see which ones you mean so that I have a
baseline.

Nah.  1) too lazy to use irc. 2) if there is anything at all already
written, then that's a good start.
