rsync - Feb 2014 - List subdirectories only n level deep on the remote server when use the -a option of rsync.

Hi all,

I want to list the contents on the remote rsync server only to n, say,
2 level deep.

In my case the the server is rsync://ftp.cn.debian.org, and I want to
list all of the stuff in the following subdirectory only to 2 level
deep:

rsync://ftp.cn.debian.org/debian

Any hints on this?

Regards
