I'm not sure where you found this syntax, but as far as I can see it's nowhere in the debmirror documentation, and it'd simply mean "mirror the architectures called 'i386' and 'amd64(-wheezy)'". Since there's no architecture called 'amd64(-wheezy)', you get the behaviour you observed. I'm therefore turning this bug into a feature request for the ability to do what you're asking for here (probably not with exactly that syntax), since as far as I know it's simply not possible with debmirror today. (It might be possible with multiple runs on a shared directory and a great deal of care, but I don't see how you'd be able to do cleanup in a sensible way, at least not without reimplementing that part.) -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
