I have another laptop at work which I have continually upgraded,
starting probably from Wheezy. I have never had any issues with that,
so I'll probably use the setting from there on this new laptop. I can't
access the work laptop at the moment, but I guess it is probably using
ftp.de.debian.org.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
