..I have a partial Debian mirror (amd64, i386, i386-hurd, source)
which didn't become ftp2.no.debian.org because of my bandwidth,
I used it as a lan mirror because my bandwidth too often was 0.

..my first few messages here:
https://talk.devuan.org/t/mirroring-devuan/45/7 and
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20151217.015613.57a0b639.en.html

..now, if we want to be the go-to distro Debian people come to once
they find out something half as nefarious as what brought us here,
we will need more mirrors, and one good way is come up with a good
way to convert a Debian mirror to a Devuan mirror, since we share
95 or 99% or whatever percentage it is now of the packages.

..now these conversion recipes will need to be tested, and such
testing will be quicker for me than wiping my Debian mirror and
set up a new fresh Devuan mirror, again because of my sucking
bandwidth.
