https support is rather new, and I'm not sure how choose-mirror deals
with it. The update I was about to upload yesterday failed to build
anyway, so some investigation is in order.

Some quick notes:
- d-i syncs its mirror list from what's in mirror/mirror-masterlist.git
so if you're not happy with the list of mirrors present there, submit
new, non-infamous (whatever that means) mirrors.
- preseeding is an entirely different concept in d-i:
