I guess this --localclean was not in the released verison of debmirror when Frans took it over, and so was lost. I'm not clear on what it did. Do you have the patch or remember? It must be different than --nocleanup somehow, but I don't understand how. Using --nocleanup in this scenario wouldn't quite work, because while the multiple sources could be combined, old files would never be expired. -- see shy jo
