..one way around that problem, is setting up your own package mirror
on your own site, but nobody here at devuan wants you to do that, if
I must rely on the absence of answers to my own mirror size etc
questions here.

..my understanding is devuan mirrors can be mirrored with rsync scripts
and then merged somehow with amprolla, pointing it to the Debian mirror
of your choise, possibly putting it in the [DEBIAN] stanza in
amprolla.conf.example, instead of host: ftp.de.debian.org and
redirect: httpredir.debian.org.

..but first, roughly, how big (as in du -sch) is packages.devuan.org?
