Let q be a prime power, ℓ a prime not dividing q, and e the order of q modulo ℓ. We show that the geometric realisation of the nerve of the transporter category of e-split Levi subgroups of a finite reductive group G over \mathbbFq is homotopy equivalent to the classifying space BG up to ℓ-completion. We suggest a generalisation of this equivalence to the setting of ℤ_ℓ-reflection cosets and establish a related fact involving the associated orbit spaces. We also establish a Dade-like formula for unipotent characters of ℤ_ℓ-spetses inspired by a question of Broué.
