Package: choose-mirror

I have been thinking that better support for oldstable would be good to 
have, even for netboot, floppy installations. This should be possible...

During the release process for Etch, we also saw a somewhat related 
problem in choose-mirror with CD installs because the Release file on the 
mirrors had not been updated even though CD-ROMs were already at 
stable=etch.

In generators/50mirror apt-setup sets the following based on the Release 
file on the CD-ROM:
   mirror/codename=etch
   mirror/suite=stable
But choose-mirror will then check the mirror first for "stable" and thus 
finds "sarge" as codename.

As the installation is now much more based on codename anyway, maybe we 
should ignore the suite a bit more and switch to matching primairily on 
codename. This would also get rid of having to set suite=<codename> in 
debian/rules for official releases.

Alternatively, we could also let generators/50mirror set mirror/suite to 
the codename from the CD (similar to what we do in debian/rules).

 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Upgrade to debhelper v7.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Remove no longer needed Lintian override for missing Standards-
     Version field.
   * Drop backwards compatibility support for preseeding of "manual" mirror
     selection.
   * Improve validation of suites available on selected mirror and suite
     selection. Changes include:
     - all suites available on a mirror get validated; if an inconsistency is
       found in any suite (between directory/symlink names and Suite/Codename
       fields in the Release file), the mirror will be rejected as invalid;
     - if a release can be accessed using codename as well as suite, the
       selection dialog will display both;
     - proper support for oldstable; will only be listed in selection dialog if
       it's the requested release (as installer default or through preseeding);
     - improved support for mirror that only have codename directories, such as
       archive.debian.org;
     - support for mirrors that don't have codename directories (but use suite
       names as directories);
     - various code cleanups.
     Many thanks to Jérémy Bobbio for reviewing the changes.
     Closes: #405169, #418382. And solves #518319 for future releases.
