Bug#163491: apt: could support mirrors

[Andrew Ferrier <andrew@new-destiny.co.uk>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist

It would be good if apt could support mirrors; that is to say,
one could provide multiple sources in sources.list which
nominally held the same archive. That way, if one mirror could
not be reached during an update, upgrade, install etc., another
one could be used.

Regards,
Andrew.
