..this looks more like a Debian owned etc mirror for DM, DD 
etc people trying to make sense of what $vendor messed up.

..any decent vendor donating a mirror, would set up complete
e.g. debian.org.mirror.vendor.com and by that qualify as e.g. 
tor4.ru.debian.org, ftp3.de.debian.org, rsync2.no.debian.org, 
https42.fi.devuan.org etc.
