For creating a local mirror, I found the script mkdebmirror.

In this script, an rsync to debian/dists/etch/main/disks-i386 (or disks-amd86) is done.

This data is however not available. Nor on the german, dutch or ftp.debian.org site.

Who knows what the data is, which is rsynced to my machine?

No idea...

If you want, I could search I might have some old scripts where such errors are corrected, but in general, I'd recommend using apt-mirror - it's simple and powerful, uses lines looking like sources.list entries.

One note: with the Etch version of apt-mirror, don't use the cleanup feature - it has problems with packages with ~ in it, and cleans them away evenb if they ar up to date. Fixed in Unstable/Testing.
