And what about the "local" mirror type, that one can define in
/etc/portage/mirrors: will it be assumed that files are stored with a
first-char prefix or not? 
I would say no, because i think the most common usage is to share the
$DISTDIR of one machine (hence without prefix) over LAN, but i'm not
really sure. Maybe some people also use this one for full mirrors,
based on the official ones (hence with prefix).
