Please do not do this. A better fix is to REJECT 82.94.249.158/32
with iptables:
iptables -I OUTPUT -d 82.94.249.158/32 -j REJECT
(amend as needed). This leaves a round-robin of two servers rather
than everyone banging on 128.101.80.133 (or the other one).

FWIW, this is not the list for such requests.
debian-admin@lists.debian.org are responsible for that.

This has been discussed at length. Basically it's less to do with
tampering than with timeliness.
