Oh, I can change it now, I know. And I may get round to doing so.
But it wasn't offered during the installation - and one has to choose a mirror
before it will move on. I think for Stretch they should just use the redir
and not offer the others. It causes a delay in the installation while it
waits for the answer. (Not much, I hasten to add. The whole installation
before I added a DE took 15 minutes.)
