[Puppet Users] proper way to mirror apt.puppetlabs.com?

I am wanting to set up a local mirror of apt.puppetlabs.com, and am a
bit confused by the layout as well as the announcement that was made
in this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/0786824ea9531fe3/f53c9006843ab8dc

I''m not sure exactly what I should be pulling, as
rsync://apt.puppetlabs.com/packages/apt
gets everything, but it seems like a bit of a mess. The top-level
pool/ directory is older than the top-level dists/ directory, but that
seems to be what is recommended in the above thread. If you look just
at the subdirectory ubuntu/ everything is in sync (all updated on Jan
3rd, 2012), however there are a ton of date-specific directories
listed under http://apt.puppetlabs.com/ubuntu/dists/ that seem to have
duplicate information.

I''m hoping that someone will know the proper way to rsync this mirror,
so things are compatible going forward. Thanks!
