Yup, but given that httpredir all the debian packages should come from
your local debian mirror anyway - and that's still > 95% of packages for
a standard install.

However, we're working on a mechanism to improve the use of local
mirrors for where httpredir for debian gets it wrong (like it does for
me in NZ). We may also extend this for deb-multimedia to use local
mirrors too.

Once we've got a beta for devuan out the I'll work with nextime to
produce a package for amprolla that makes building private mirrors a
walk in the park, and also will make building official CC mirrors easier
too.
