Hmm, That is exactly what I said. I didn't say there was only one repo...

Once you have added all the various repos to your system, then updates 
*do* all come through the same apt based update system. So at that point 
they do all *seem* to come from the same source, even if behind the 
scenes various different servers are used. That is the point I was 
trying to make, but obviously failed.
