rsync of x-86 Debian?

Hi, all.  I find myself doing more and more frequent Debian installs at
work, and it looks as if we're angling to convert over our ASIC team
(perhaps a total of ten machines) from HP/UX to Debian.  I do most of my
installs over the 'Net, 'cause it's so darn easy -- but I have to say that
a) it could sure be a bit faster if it were local, and
b) I feel guilty  for repeatedly getting the same files from remote servers.

I'd love to do an rsync to a local repository, but I just want x-86 stuff
(all three: stable, testing, and unstable).  Unfortunately, to date, I've
only seen how to rsync the whole shebang.  That's a bit overkill.

Can anyone tell me how to do just x-86?  Alpha's great, and so's MIPS, and
PowerPC, [etc.,] but I just don't need 'em.

Thanks!

-Ken
