Extending it to absolute urls

one mirror, and not let the user choose, so I don't like that at all.
Leave it as a relative URL (or is it just package name, don't
remember), and then let apt-get pick the mirror of its choice.
Add a marker to these locations, like main: or non-us: (others
like contrib: and non-free: would work too, but FSF wouldn't
touch them)
FSF would list, for example:
whatever main:bash-whatever
whatever non-us:openssh-whatever
whatever <local name>
I haven't actually checked what the proper format for a packages
file is, but that should get the point across.
We'd just have to worry about old versions of packages.
