Bug#1008652: mirrors must support also HTTPS in order to be considered official

[Geert Stappers <stappers@stappers.nl>]

Control: retitle -1  mirrors must support also HTTPS in order to be considered official

> This is related to: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=992692
 
Quoting https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=992692#37

  This change is more about recognizing HTTPS as the primary transport
  protocol for the modern Web, not sending mixed signals regarding the
  general security risks posed by plain HTTP when used for unrelated
  purposes, and no longer needing to repeatedly explain to users that
  Debian has gone to great lengths to implement package distribution
  security which doesn't really depend at all on transport layer
  encryption.



Original Subject: mirrors must support HTTPS in order to be considered official
should have been: mirrors must support also HTTPS in order to be considered official

I have retitled this wishlist bugreport accordingly to make
more clear that the wish is about **adding** another transport protocol,
not about **switching** transport protocol.
