This has two serious drawbacks: sunsite is rarely up-to-date, and
sometimes it takes days to mount part of it using NFS.  The mirror
at ftp.mcc.ac.uk is also available using NFS, but you need to mount
it using one of these addresses:

     mount zeus.mcc.ac.uk:/afs /afs
     mount hpd.mcc.ac.uk:/afs /afs

In either case the Debian files are in
/afs/mcc.ac.gb/ftp/pub/linux/distributions/Debian.  For the moment,
thanks mainly to Stephen Early, they tend to be fairly up-to-date.
