Did you switch to ftp.fr.debian.org or to another mirror? Maybe
ftp.fr.debian.org didn't update or something? Sounds like a very big
coincidence that it gets fixed the day you notice but nothing else
makes sense. If you look at the code the find can't have any effect on
the mirroring:
# mirror cleanup for directories
if ($cleanup || $post_cleanup) {
# Remove all empty directories. Not done as part of main cleanup
# to prevent race problems with pool download code, which
# makes directories.. Sort so they are removable in bottom-up
# order.
chdir($mirrordir) or die "chdir $mirrordir: $!";
system("find . -type d -depth ! -name . ! -name .. -print0 | xargs -0 rmdir 2>
/dev/null") if (! $dry_run);
}
exit;
It does the find and then exits. All the mirroring has been done at
that point.

PS: I will get a new upload sponsored this week including the fix for
this.
