I think the most accurate method would be to scan the list of configured apt
sources, and choose the first one which matches the Debian release the user
is currently running (via the information from Releases). If the necessary
API isn't available yet, this could probably be added to python-apt without
too much trouble, and might be useful elsewhere as well.
