That it just works? :) That all the neccessary directories and symlinks are mirrored, including project/trace. Also, AFAIUI debmirror creates a much higher load on the server you're pulling from than anonftpsync (as debmirror opens lots of rsync-connections, whereas anonftpsync just does two). I have seen lots of interessting issues with debmirror, but none with anonftpsync till now (and I'm working on the debian mirrors, so I've seen lots of different mirrors all over the world, with lots of interessting failures).
