for the concern i previously mentioned, you're probably right.  however,
it would be nice to have the ability to limit what packages you could
download from a sources.list entry, if that's the specific reason you
put that entry in in the first place (i.e. i don't care what else metalab
has on their site, i only want blackdown java from them), wouldn't it?
