I like this idea, but i'd prefer to have the special variable be
DEBIRF_MIRROR_RUNTIME somehow. That is, my main conception of
DEBIRF_MIRROR is that it tells debirf where to pull from when it's
building the image. debirf images themselves might never pull from an
apt repository in their life.
Another approach with the same results would be to introduce a module
that just replaces (or augments) /etc/apt/sources.list. This has the
advantage of being more flexible by permitting you to specify more than
one repository, specifying an additional repository in addition to the
main one, etc.
What do you think makes the most sense?
