I don't have that amount of control over the remote mirror; mirrorservice.org simply rsyncs via a cron job from the server here.
Can the source repository on your server be frozen by LVM snapshot or just by stopping updates until the mirror syncs?

FWIW (1) the latest 24 hours saw the following changes on mirrorservice.org as seen through our filter which only mirrors for Wheezy and Jessie:
* R14 and builddeps - none. * NB and builddeps - 28 new files.

FWIW (2) the most recent R14 file I see on mirrorservice.org is dists/wheezy/main/binary-amd64/Packages Which is 2½ weeks old.

It looks like the build farm generates something like 32 versions of nightly builds. I wonder what fraction of the nightly builds are ever downloaded from the mirror before a new version comes along. It might save bandwidth overall if the nightly builds were served direct from your server without mirroring.
