You must exclude unwanted files, which is somehow complicated to
explain how it exaclty works and is currently discuessed in other
mails here. maybe some expert can shed some light on it for us.

put those two in your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb ftp://rut.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/ unstable main
deb-src ftp://rut.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/ unstable main
and then
apt-get install debian-mirror
I'm currently adding configuration via debconf to it and doing some
cleanup to the code but take a look at the script to see how to
partially mirror debian.

PS: Near the end the pools get mirrored with --include-from and --exclude options
(which should not work with rsync >=2.4.0 but does) in this way.
