In the meantime - as it is fairly obvious that this will not be done instantly and unlikely to be in time for q-freezes - you might want to explore solutions similar to bittorrent which are available today with apt-p2p or apt-transport-debtorrent (as these are by definition hash based) or setup a service like http.debian.net which in your case would only redirect to fully updated mirrors -- which might even speeds up your updates on the machine if it redirects the same client to different mirrors (to improve this further you might like to backport deb#668111 for apt).

Either doesn't solve all problems, but should be able to fix at least a few for now.
