No, but some of the ideas outlined in those bug reports sound rather good,
being able to select both a debian dist and a set of sources for the
installation candiates is usefull.
To do this would not be terribly difficult, it would need a change of the
format of the sources.list to have sections and it would need changes to
the souce list parser and storage mechanism.
Then you'd need to create a new vesion selection routine and slot it into
the cache and bind it to some configuration variables and presto :> To do
that the GetCandiateVersion function would have to be modified to call a
function/class so it can be modified without subclassing it.
Not too difficult, the tricky part is the new sectional source list
format, that would have to be carefully selected.
