This looks like it's an upstream change. From the man-page:
" --rsync-extra=foo[,bar,..]
Allows to also mirror files from a number of directories that are
not part of the package archive itself.
Debmirror will always use rsync for the transfer of these files,
irrespective of what transfer method is
specified in the --method option. This will therefore not work if
your remote mirror does not support rsync, or
if the mirror needs a different --root option for rsync than for the
main transfer method specified with
--method.
"
However specifying --rsync-extra=none still fails on my setup with:
Download of dists/repo/Release failed: 500 Can't connect to sloy:80
(Connection refused)
Although looking at apache's logs I can see it never actually tried to
fetch the file.
