Good point. Of course, we'll know which version numbers are downloaded too,
so we can do some tricks with that...
I just wonder how many different mirrors (and which ones) we'll need before
we get reasonable results. For example, I'd like to see logs from the APT
default sites much more than a noname mirror site...
Have fun,
