Debian-multimirror:	
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DESCRIPTION:

	debian-multimirror is a tool that eases and automates the creation and
	maintenance of custom Debian mirrors. It uses parallel programming to
	exploit redundancy between mirrors and download from several mirrors at the
	same time for best performance and less mirror load. A custom algorithm is
	used to select a consistent set of packages, and out of sync or even broken
	mirrors can still be used. SHA1 and MD5 package information is used to
	assure data integrity. It uses an XML file for configuration of the local
	mirror, and writes the correspondent "Package" files after finishing
	mirroring.

NOTES:	

	Be careful with <clean>1</clean>, since it will delete *.deb files that are
	not registered in the destination directory. In some cases, if for some reason
	the package list in memory doesn't have packages it *MIGHT DELETE* all your .deb 
	files in your mirror directory.

	Exclude is always checked before include, when deciding to include or
	exclude a package checks will be done in this order:

		* it's in  excluded packages ?  exclude
		* it's in  included packages ?  include 

		* it's in  excluded regexp ?  exclude
		* it's in  included regexp ?  include 

		* it's in  excluded section ?  exclude
		* it's in  included section ?  include 

		* exclude all ?  exclude
		* include all ?  include 

		-> exclude
	
Usage hints:

	When you are going to install some packages with apt, often it will spit:

root@mayhem:/home/piotr# apt-get build-dep sodipodi
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libgcrypt-dev libgnutls5-dev libopencdk-dev libtasn1-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  indent libatk1.0-dev libbonobo-activation-dev libbonobo2-dev libbonoboui2-dev libbz2-dev libcroco3
  libcroco3-dev libgconf2-dev libgcrypt11-dev libglade2-dev libgnome-keyring-dev libgnome2-dev
  libgnomecanvas2-dev libgnomeui-dev libgnomevfs2-dev libgnutls11-dev libgpg-error-dev libgsf-1 libgsf-1-dev
  libgtk2.0-dev libidl-dev libopencdk8-dev liborbit2-dev libpango1.0-dev librsvg2-2 librsvg2-common
  librsvg2-dev libtasn1-2-dev libxft-dev libxml2-dev

Then you can paste the list of packages installed with the following command, and hit ^D when done:

	./paste.pl | ./package-tool --cfg config.xml --include --dist sid > newconfig.xml

So your configuration includes the new packages
It's very useful to avoid redownloading the same files again when updating the mirror
