How would the path be different between servers? We're talking
something like
pool/main/z/zip/zip_2.32-1_amd64.deb
which is reflected identically across all mirror servers. Sure, there's
the server hostname and path prefix (e.g. "/pub/mirrors/debian"), but
the path_map mechanism already abstracts all that away.
Could you give an example of the breakage that is a concern?
