How about making some kind of list of what each mirror carry?  Not on
file level, but the major parts.  E.g. a mirror can carry : stable i386
ISO images, stable release i386 packages, current/new tech amd64
packages and so on.

It could be partially automated by a scripts that checks the content on
the mirrors.  E.g. redhat uses something like this:
http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html .

The sysinstall mirrors list could the generated from this mirror list.

Just an idea, which might be overkill, but since it seems very hard to
define what non-full mirrors should carry this might be a way to solve
handle it.
