package: debian-installer

Hi,
I was looking at packages/apt-setup/generators/and noticed a
difference between the way that 91security and 92volatile add lines
to the new sources.list file (subversion, r54582):
91security does this -
echo "deb http://$host/ $codename/updates $dists" >> $file
92volatile does this -
echo "deb http://$host/debian-volatile $codename/volatile $dists" >> $file
I noticed this when I was trying to preseed these settings, but using
a local apt-proxy machine instead of security.d.o and volatile.d.o.
At present I can preseed the security source like this
d-i apt-setup/security_host string aptproxy:9999/security
and the "right thing" happens.
But to get volatile right I would have to preseed differently
d-i apt-setup/volatile_host string aptproxy:9999
and use the path /debian-volatile on the apt-proxy.
This would look a bit odd to an unitiated reader of the preseeding file.
To me, the answer appears to allow additional variables
apt-proxy/security_path
apt-proxy/volatile_path
and default these to '' and '/debian-volatile', respectively, so you
can do e.g.
echo "deb http://$host/$path $codename/volatile $dists" >> $file
Then I could preseed the settings for my apt-proxy as well, in a nicer
way.
Does this seem sensible? This might also help #364650.
Cheers
Vince
