Well, as you are already mirroring the entire Debian archive you have
the hppa packages on board, which is great.  I don't actually know who
it is that has been updating the website but hopefully someone who has
CVS write access could add the relevant URLs to the pages.  I wouldn't
think it worthwhile to mirror the website itself though apart from those
ISO files.  Once things have settled down with a stable release then
planetmirror/mirror.aarnet will pick them up via the debian-cd mirror.

Andrew.
