Bug#55773: general: apt/sources.list on a per mirror basis?

[<bsb@winnegan.de>]

Package: general
Version: 20000120
Severity: wishlist

I don't think the following is a problem with apt, but it's related to
non-US being mirrored to different locations. Do we have a mirrors
pseudo-package to assign this wishlist-bug to? 

I'd like to see mirrors putting a sources.list file into their /debian
directory which a user can download and copy relevant lines into
/etc/apt/sources.list.

Since ftp.de.debian.org currently doesn't allow anonymous ftp access,
I replaced "de" with "nl" and "uk" respectively only to find out that
non-US Package files could not be retrieved :(

Regards
  Siggy
