Re: Preferred Mirrors for Apt

David Baron:

However, with the scheme I propose, all Debian packages would be taken care
of. Other stuff like qmail, systemimage, stuff that one needs a repository
other than Debian's own mirrors, would need be explicitely listed.

This is the current situation. IIRC, the installer even presents a list
of mirrors from which you may choose one. Non-Debian archives are never
autmatically added to sources.list.
