Yes, this seems to work. I do this:
 
/etc/init.d/debtorrent-client stop
find /var/cache/debtorrent -not -type d -ctime +15 -delete
rm -Rf /var/cache/debtorrent/.DebTorrent
/etc/init.d/debtorrent-client start
aptitude update

and the sizes of main_binary-i386 and main_binary-all are non-zero.

The sizes of contrib and non-free are 0, but that is real. These
directories do not even have a pool subdirectory. I suppose that is
created as soon as I install packages from those repositories.

Thanks, Simon
