Package: choose-mirror
Version: 1.19

Currently choose-mirror only checks if the mirror can be reached and if it 
contains the selected suite/codename. There is no check if the 
architecture being installed is supported by the mirror.

The best check is probably to see if dists/etch/main/binary-$arch/Release  
(or Packages.gz?) is present.
The check will become more important with the mirror split.

I ran into this while doing a businesscard install where I, out of force 
of habit, selected my local mirror (which does not have hppa yet) for a 
hppa installation.

This resulted in a very weird failure (that I think we've seen before in 
installation reports) during base-installation. The error on screen in 
that proc cannot be mounted (as there is no mount in the chroot).

syslog has:

   * Look if a udeb $codename-support is present and, if it is, load that.
     This will allow to preserve backwards compatibility with previous
     releases for a longer period. ATM it will allow to install Sarge again.
   * Check if the selected mirror carries the architecture being installed.
     Closes: #353556.
