Timeline :
t0 : I upgrade my system using the local mirror. Everything goes fine.

about 2 weeks later : I run apt-get update. No new upgrades are waiting
(!) (I'm running sid)

I suspect there's a problem with debmirror. I rerun debmirror by hand
(debmirror --progress --verbose --dist=sid --nosource --passive
--host=ftp.fr.debian.org --method=rsync --root=:debian
--section=main,contrib,non-free --arch=i386 --cleanup --getcontents
/home/space/debmirror/debian). Nothing strange in the debmirror output
except the find warning.

To check if there is really nothing new, I switch in
/etc/apt/sources.list from my local mirror to another mirror. I apt-get
update, some new packages show up. I stop, look for a bug in the BTS,
find it, apply the patch, rerun debmirror, switch back to my local
mirror in /etc/apt/sources.list, run apt-get update, and it goes fine.
