Interesting, thanks for context. However not only deb.debian.org warns "This
is an experimental service" but also it should work "in stretch and later".
We are talking about backports here so deb.debian.org can not be used due to
those two reasons.
Eventually we might be able to advise using "deb.debian.org" for Backports
but not just yet...
According to announce "http.debian.net" was obsoleted by
"httpredir.debian.org" and I suppose it is safe to update instructions
accordingly.
