Splitting the files using only one letter leave some directory with
still too much files in imho.

g       2879
l       2394
p       2049
s       2018

versus

l       li      1652
k       kd      888
x       xf      670
g       gn      559

li* (lib) are still a lot, but more manageable.

the total number of files in my mirror directory is 32000, but I don't
delete old files, and I've started some months ago.
