I'll also point out that the dpkg-ftp version in experimental (1.5.x)
already handles source lists.  There is already (using that version of
dpkg-ftp) no need for the main and subsidiary distributions to be on
the same FTP server.

I currently get by non-US and main distributions from different sites
already.

There are some problems with the version I'm using (1.5.1), but it is
already very usable.
