apt-move incompatible with non-debian repository structures

Package: apt-move
Version: 4.2.24-1.1ubuntu1
Severity: important


apt-move has the Debian main/restricted/non-us/etc. sections of the
repository hard-coded into it.

When using apt-move to duplicate an Ubuntu repository, only the main and
restricted components are duplicated. Files from universe or multiverse
are ignored.

My expectation is that the components to be used/ignored would be a
configurable option, rather than hard-coded in the program itself.
