Update. After 4 hours of checking mirror sites I still do not have
any reference to the x86info package. I do, noe, have the debfoster
package tho. :-)
But I learned a lot in the process. Don't relay on the mirror lists.
The listed paths for the packages for the non-US branch are, in most
cases I tried, incorrect. Maybe thats why the x86info package is
still missing, for me anyway.
