[Bug 824285] Re: [pbuilder-dist] hardcodes the mirrors to use

[Rolf Leggewie]

I was nearly pulling my hair out before realising that I'm hitting the
same bug as you are.

No, this is absolutely not a good idea and the behaviour should be
changed.  I was using "pbuilder-dist login --save-after-login" for god
know how many times trying to get the tool to switch from using ftp to
http for sid.  This was very important because http traffic is cached
here.  How was I supposed to know that pbuilder-dist doesn't care about
my explicit instructions?  Please change this.

** Summary changed:

- [pbuilder-dist] always uses archive.ubuntu.com
+ [pbuilder-dist] hardcodes the mirrors to use
