Should that be www.apt-get.org?

I've gone off apt-get.org because I don't see that it's properly controlled.

Let's say that you get a deb line:
deb http://w32-codecs.org ....

Some time in the future the owner decides to plop Gnome, growisofs 
and/other stuff in there.

Potentially, w32-codecs.org has become your primary repository for all 
sorts of unofficial stuff you don't know about or want.

There may be ways to controll what you get from there, but London to a 
Brick hardly anyone here knows how:-)
