"I am working on several patches to apt-spy so that it can parse the
ubuntu wiki page that has the package mirrors."

It seems this idea has already been abandoned but I would just like to
note that it seems incredibly insecure to grab apt sources from a wiki,
even if a maliciously added repository wouldn't authenticate with pgp
most users unfortunately ignore those errors and would install
unathenticated packages anyways.
