I think this would make sense, or perhaps a --quiet option. I just switched to rsync with ftp.de.debian.org, and noticed that this particular server outputs a rsync MOTD by default; I used --rsync-options to add --no-motd and this suppresses output and works well, however I wish I could make that the default for some quiet or crontab mode of debmirror. Currently there's only a verbose mode, but we could possibly add --no-motd when verbose isn't set. There's a caveat on --no-motd usage in the rsync man page, but apparently this is only problematic when listing remote modules over rsync, and debmirror doesn't use this feature (remote module is specified by the user).
