I want rmadison to be a remote madison, meaning a remote dak ls… which
is what it's supposed to be! That means behaving like dak ls, and
showing what matters, that is: not the extra sources.
I hope it clarifies the above "correctness" you mentioned. rmadison
might currently reflects what's in Sources file, but that isn't the
point, or its job.
