Bug#96850: apt: apt should read from /etc/hosts



Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice if I could set (for example) http.us.debian.org to the
closest server in /etc/hosts and have apt use that instead of referring to
DNS.

Currently it seems to use DNS regardless of what /etc/hosts or
/etc/nsswitch.conf say.
