[Bug 1239203] Re: Implement CC.ports.ubuntu.com country code selection

[Adam Conrad]

This is going to have to happen in the 14.04 cycle, this probably
touches a lot more than just choose-mirror and ubiquity.   There are a
few bits here and there that have a concept of "official mirrors" versus
unofficial ones they won't touch/mangle, like software-properties and
ubuntu-release-upgrader.  We'll have to take some care to find all the
right bits before we flip this switch.  Should be doable for the LTS,
though.

Title:
  Implement CC.ports.ubuntu.com country code selection

Status in “choose-mirror” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  *.ports.ubuntu.com is now live in DNS, and (hopefully by the time you
  read this), us.ports.ubuntu.com will be live on a US mirror.  To take
  advantage of this, we should implement country code
  detection/selection for arches which use ports.ubuntu.com, similar to
  how CC.archive.ubuntu.com is handled.
