Package: distro-info-data
Version: 0.51
Severity: normal

Hi,

we currently carry Debian mirror URLs in many different packages. It
would be great if there could be one package that shipped a machine
readable list of the currently correct mirror URLs for each distro.

This is useful, because we have already gone through many iterations of
mirror URLs like http.debian.net, httpredir.debian.org, deb.debian.org.
Now with bullseye we switched the security mirror from stable/updates to
stable-security. And currently on debian-devel there is a discussion
about http versus https as a default for the mirrors.

If we shipped the information in one central package like
distro-info-data, then whenever we change it, we'd only need to change
this package and not all the many packages that require this
information.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
