Dear Maintainer,

Since last week we encounter an issue when trying to update our mirror which is configured for bullseyes and bookworm for both amd64 and ppc64el.
As ppc64el arch is no more in main mirror (goes to archive) for bullseye which is in LTS, the debmirror process stopped.
We tried using the --ignore-missing-release but it doesn't works neither.
So we can't make it works when an arch is not available anymore for a distribution.
It will be great to have the possibility to choose which arch we want to mirror by dist version (for example bullseye-amd64, bookworm-amd64, bookworm-ppc64el).
For now the only solution we find is to do a mirror for amd64 arch and another one for ppc64.
