Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.19

Setup is accessing the distribution with stable, non-free, contrib,
and development links.  It can't even access unstable's non-free or
contrib.

It should be accessing the distribution with
dists/{stable,unstable}/{main,non-free,contrib}.

Note that the same applies to dpkg-ftp.  I'd like fixes for both of
these to appear in stable.  I'll help you with it if needed.

Note that providing the list unstable (or hamm/hamm), hamm/contrib,
hamm/non-free works with dpkg-ftp_1.4.9.  It is admittedly a hack, but it
works.

I know, but it should be nicer.

From which distribution do you want packages? [stable | unstable]

From which sections under stable do you want packages (seperate with spaces)?
