[Pulp-dev] Replicate metadata

[Matthias Dellweg]

Mirroring the metedata exactly is also very important for Debian
Repositories, because of the way the metadata is signed in lieu of the
whole content. So it would be very beneficial, if this could be
provided as a 'service' of the pulp core platform somehow.
