exists, but since it is not essential you might have removed it and

Dear Debianists,
Is there such a utility as apt-setup? Some web sites say it exists, others
say it does not.
I tried typing apt-setup into a terminal prompt as root and got "command not
found".
I was wanting to use it to add a mirror site to the apt sources.lst
file.

Hi,
What happened to apt-setup in etch? It used to be in base-config in
sarge, but it doesn't turn up in any of etch's packages. It's awful
handy, is there an alternate tool to set up sources.list?

Setup: sarge (from whilst it was in testing). sources.list has been
modified to point to "stable" now (it was pointing to unstable, of
course). aptitude update/upgrade/dist-upgrade has been run, without
problems.
