Specifying snapshot mirror in deb822 syntax

Hi all,

Two related things:

1. Usage of snapshots.debian.org is possible via the deb822-format sources files by just specifying "Snapshot: yes" in the archive section (and then specifying the --snapshot param

to apt) or by specifying "Snapshot: 20250801", but that syntax is only documented on https://snapshot.ubuntu.com/ . Where could one edit the main page of https://snapshot.debian.org/ ?

2. When specifying the snapshot that way, it becomes unclear how to specify a mirror server instead of snapshots.debian.org . Can we also add that to the documentation?

Best regards,
