Fetching packages from the same mirror isn't exactly the same as wgetting a file from an http location without any kind of verification.

Committing redundant data to version control is wrong. Having to debdiff source packages to see what the changes were makes me think that it's actually useful. At least to me. I'm sorry if that looks wrong, but I can take the blame for doing things that let me work. > Personally, I think that the way choose-mirror handled > Mirrors.masterlist was fine.
