Arnaud, What flags are you passing to rsync? The README at http://apt.puppetlabs.com/README.txt offers a sample rsync command which includes the --copy-links flag. When I rsync using copy links, my dists directory looks like:
total 0 drwxrwsr-x 7 matthaus staff 238 Dec 20 16:45 hardy drwxrwsr-x 7 matthaus staff 238 Dec 27 11:27 lucid drwxrwsr-x 7 matthaus staff 238 Dec 27 11:28 natty drwxrwsr-x 7 matthaus staff 238 Dec 27 11:30 oneiric drwxrwsr-x 7 matthaus staff 238 Dec 27 11:37 precise drwxrwsr-x 7 matthaus staff 238 Dec 27 11:38 quantal drwxrwsr-x 7 matthaus staff 238 Dec 27 11:33 sid drwxrwsr-x 7 matthaus staff 238 Dec 27 11:34 squeeze drwxrwsr-x 7 matthaus staff 238 Dec 27 11:39 stable drwxrwsr-x 7 matthaus staff 238 Dec 27 11:39 testing drwxrwsr-x 7 matthaus staff 238 Dec 27 11:31 unstable drwxrwsr-x 7 matthaus staff 238 Dec 27 11:36 wheezy Without --copy-links, the dists directory looks like what you have described.
