I think he was referring to the double occurrence of 'http' in the
single URL 'http://http.debian.net/'.

That's because the first 'http' is the protocol to use to connect, and
the second 'http' is the DNS name of the actual server to connect to -
just as, in the earlier sources.list entries, 'http' is the protocol
used to connect and 'ftp' is the DNS name of the server to connect to,
even though both HTTP and FTP are protocols.
