I've successfully used mirror for this purpose with the following
packages file (i386 binary only):
package=UnstableMain
#
comment=Debian Unstable Main
#
site=ftp.mi.us.debian.org
remote_dir=/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386
flags_recursive=-lRatL
local_dir=/pub/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386
mail_to=root
disconnect=true
#
compress_patt=Packages(-Master)?
#
max_delete_files=100%
do_deletes=true
package=UnstableDisks
#
comment=Debian Unstable Install Disks
#
site=ftp.mi.us.debian.org
remote_dir=/debian/dists/unstable/main/disks-i386/current
flags_recursive=-lRatL
local_dir=/pub/debian/dists/unstable/main/disks-i386/current
mail_to=root

As I said, this only gets unstable binary-i386 packages flattening all
the symlinks (but if this is what you want, it works great).
