For those of you who need to deal with Debian/Ubuntu network install,
what do you think about adding a debmirror.template to the collection?

Rationales: the use of debmirror is no less complex than say dnsmasq,
rsync, and definitely more so than tftpd. These three have templates,
so why debmirror can't?

Motivation: recently Canoncial decided to stop providing a full
alternate iso for its default release. There are alternate install
isos for other variants, but IMHO the digging and reviewing a
collection of disjointed documentation (often are out of date or
somewhat inaccurate) is such a waste of time. One of cobbler's main
design goal is to mask the complexities of serveral tools typically
used for PXE network install. Given what Ubuntu has done, IMHO
debmirror becomes an important tool and thus qualifies to have
a template.
