I'm going to bring this up at UDS.  I don't have any specific
statistics, but I imagine that daily updates place a pretty substantial
burden on the mirrors.

Another thing worth considering is moving from .gz to .lzma (or better)
compression of the Packages file itself.  A simple test shows that
Intrepid can save another 10% over .bz2 by using Packages.lzma
