OK, I've set things up and it seems to be working, neat. I have a few
questions:
Why should it be necessary to modify sources.list to specify the vendor? I
would have either expected this to be determined from the Release file, or
to have a list of trusted vendors and not care which source corresponds to
which vendor. It would be nice if we could do this without changing the
syntax of sources.list, so that older apts are forward compatible.

That would be great; feel free to send me whatever you have.
