However, the SRPMS are at the toplevel, so you'd have to do symlink
tricks to include them.
Well, SRPMS are another thing that might end up zapped (though only at
the very small mirror level - intranet mirroring typically).
And with debuginfo packages growing there'll probably be a need at some
point to strip them easily (not that they're not needed they are
massively less used than the other stuff so it makes no sense to push
them in every mirror)
