Bug#594495: apt: obsolete references to non-us still present in documentation
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20.2+lenny2
Severity: important
Hi,
I just noticed that the sources.list man page still contains references to the old non-us sections of the Debian repositories (http://www.debian.org/mirror/list-non-US). I found that in my installed version of apt (most recent for lenny), but I also checked the contents of the newer versions of the package, both in testing (0.7.25.3) and in unstable (0.8.0), and it looks like they are still there (just grep the package in order to see all the matches).
It makes no sense to keep non-us stuff four years after security updates for woody were discontinued. Please, remove all of them (including doc translations).
Thank you.
