Debian derivatives census: https for apt repositories



Hi all,

The Debian derivatives census codebase now supports derivatives that
use https for their apt repositories. If your derivative supports https
on your primary mirror location, then you can now include https URLs in
the sources.list snippet of your census wiki page. There are some
advantages to https support in repositories, mostly around obscuring
package names/versions from adversaries on the network.

Thanks to the Whonix folks for redirecting to https, which meant that I
noticed the census didn't support that and then fixed it.
