The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Well, it depends on what you're trying to accomplish.  Mirror's kind
of all or nothing.  The "flags_recursive+L" is what causes it to kill
the links.  If you don't kill the links, then you have to be sure that
you are getting all of the linked to files as well as the links
themselves.  This, in the general case, means getting a full mirror.

The option you really want --smart-mirror (which doesn't exist) would
tell mirror to figure out all the files it's going to download, figure
out where all the symlinks point, and then make sure to get one and
only one copy of each file (even if it lies outside the area you're
mirroring).  Of course it would also have to make sure all the other
relevant symlinks point at that one copy of the file.  This would
require many changes to mirror, including the ability to specify
several "packages" as a single collection as far as symlinks go.
