It's always seemed ridiculous to me that `apt` by default isn't just implemented as a global hash lookup. Once I have my package indexes and signatures, where a package comes from really doesn't matter - I should be able to fire a request into the ether and get routed to whoever has it, not depend on one specific mirror not breaking mid-update.
