What if the DAK screws up and forgets to create a Packages file for
some arch one day? Yes, that happened before. a "just have an
'--ignore-missing-arch'" would suddenly remove all the previously
mirrord debs.
There is always a problem to detect when a mirror is broken and when
it is actualy setup bad. Given that an archive without Release file is
quite unusable with the secure apt in etch anyway I think it is
acceptable for debmirror to insist on them for full functionality too.
Do you have any case where those files are actualy missing on purpose?
Hopefully nobody does that anymore.
