In my opinion, as main/debian-installer is not a section which is
present all the time on all the dists, debmirror should have a
condictional that check if exist.

The other option is to make madatory for the archive to have
dists/*/main/debian-installer even when there is any packages for it.

I don't know if you don 't see the problem here, but the thing is, that
with the actual debmirror you have to separate in diference directory
each dists, in order to be able to mirror main/debian-installer:

Means that you have this:
ubuntu
  dists
    dapper
      main
        debian-installer
      restricted
      universe
      multiverse
ubuntu-security
  dists
    dapper-security
      main
      restricted
      ...
      ...
...

Instead of:
ubuntu
  dists
    dapper
      main
        debian-installer
      restricted
      universe
      multiverse
    dapper-security
     main
      restricted
      ...
      ...
...

BTW, I write a mail to the author and this was his response:

"You have to edit the script so it knows where to skip non-existing
sections. Debmirror was never written to handle different sections per
suite.

In line 631 add for example

   next if ($section =~ /debian-installer/ && $dist =~ /.*-security/);

       Goswin"
