Hi Thaddeus,
At the time Frans Pop explained the reasons :
"
In the past there have been times when proposed-updates suites did not
contain debian-installer sections and thus would cause mirroring to
fail.
I think the solution is to remove the test and simply not fail if the
section is missing (which could still happen after a release), but just
print a warning.
"
debmirror has probably changed since this bug and I'm not involved on a
project using debmirror since a while.
So if this bug is not reproducible, we should probably close it.
Thanks.
