Bug#818498: migrate from debmirror to archvsync

Usertags: debsources

debmirror shortcomings have been bugging debsources for quite a while lately.
Let's migrate away from it to archvsync [1], as that will put us in a more
"normal" situation w.r.t. how actual Debian mirrors are maintained around the
world.

I'm marking this bug as important because, after the recent archive changes,
debmirror isn't properly mirroring experimental (due to its having been
switched to Sources.xz).

Cheers.

FYI, this is fixed in debmirror 1:2.21 (and 1:2.22 fixes a regression
from a little while ago that affected mirroring jessie).

It would be nice if this could get fixed in jessie-updates or the next
jessie point release.
