Wouldn't it be an option to have the distribution set to "snapshot", and
the component to, say, "archive" ?

So it'd end up like:

deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20110623T151535Z/ snapshot archive

Not as nice as the original proposal, but still useful enough, I
believe. And since neither the distribution, nor the components needs
any info, it should be fairly straightforward to implement, too.

I can even spare an hour or two to create a patch, if the above is
deemed acceptable. (And hope that I understand the code, so I can
fulfill that promise :)
