Creating a partial Debian mirror (e.g. for FAI)

[W. Borgert]

Hi,

every now and then, people ask how to create a partial
Debian GNU/Linux mirror for use with FAI.  Unfortunately,
debmirror doesn't handle dependencies, so it is a lot of
work to maintain.  apt-move does a better job in this
respect, but if used outside of a chroot, there is the
danger that maintaining the mirror interferes with the
administration of the actual server.  I wrote a small
recipe (and three simple scripts) on using apt-move in
a chroot.  Please comment, thanks in advance!
