Not an answer to either of your questions I know, but just in case you
do not already know of it you might like to look at squid-deb-proxy.
Rather than completely mirroring the repo this allows you very easily
to set up a deb cache on your LAN which all machines on the network
access.  When one machine requires a particular file this is
downloaded via the cache so that anyone else needing it picks it up
from there, so each file is only downloaded only once.
