When running apt-setup:

Method - ftp
Country - UK

apt-setup ignores the Archive-ftp path in Mirrors.masterlist and just appends /debian/ to the site name, creating a sources.list as follows:

deb ftp://www.mirror.ac.uk/debian/ frozen main non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://www.mirror.ac.uk/debian/ frozen main non-free contrib

This will only work for ftp.uk.debian.org.
