I hope I'm not asking for something that has been re-hashed a few dozen
times, but a Google search hasn't turned much up, and this is a bit of
an irritant.

How would one go about setting up a local partial APT mirror?  One that
mirrors only specific trees (such as stable and testing), and can exclude 
arbitrary types of packages (such as source or PA-RISC binaries)?  I've 
looked at Absurd's scripts, but they seem designed for the older APT 
structure, and aren't happy with the pool at all.

I'd like to set up a machine at my place-of-Ork that I can throw this 
partial mirror on, and then have all the Debian boxen we use point to it
instead of at the Debian servers, thus using less of our (and the Debian
Project's) available bandwidth.

Thanks-in-advance!
