debmirror questions

[UCY Library mirror]

Hi Brendan,


The archive mirror is ~1.1TB. Was investigating if possible to trim off 
some fat and add it to mirror.library.ucy.ac.cy.

Did a similar approach with fedora and openSUSE, either through 
exceptions or rsync modules, mirroring the parts with most usage.
