Please unblock package apt-mirror2
[ Reason ]
With the xiao sheng wen help all missing apt-mirror2 dependencies (aiolimiter, caio, aiofile) have made it into testing, but apt-mirror2
itself don't.
One of the reasons for it is my wish to made it Conflicts/Replaces for the apt-mirror for which we asked apt-mirror maintainers but didn't received answer as of today.
It took me some time to make apt-mirror2 co-exists with the apt-mirror
What is the relationship with apt-mirror? Is apt-mirror2 a coordinated replacement? Or in other words, if we unblock apt-mirror2, can we remove apt-mirror?
Rewriting the tool in a better language like Python, Go or Rust has
been on my wishlist for years.
apt-mirror2 is a good name. In case of a feature parity dropping this
Perl implementation and renaming
your rewrite to apt-mirror would be fine IMO.
Cheers

No, we can not remove apt-mirror after `apt-mirror2/13-2` unblock "as is":
1. No ack from the apt-mirror maintainers received. However Benjamin Drung posted a year ago [1]:

2. A simple change is needed for version 13-2 to install binary, config and data to the same paths as apt-mirror does.
It's actually a revert of the [2] and a new upload which I ready to do if it's supported by Debian Developers.
