Package: apt Version: 2.5.3+b1 Severity: wishlist Hi! I see that random programs parse apt's configuration to obtain the default mirror for use with chroots/containers/etc. And they all do it in their own hacky and incomplete ways. Thus eg. piuparts fails to understand 822-style sources, and so on.
I started looking how to implement that, and went: * `apt-cache policy` has that needed information * /etc/dpkg/origins/default gives $Vendor * ... so the highest-priority entry with "release o=$Vendor" should do * but is that o= or l= ? You see where it is going... As you acolytes of the Cow know the right way to do so, while me and all those piudockernetesemu authors don't -- could you please implement `apt-cache defaultmirror` or such? Meow!
