The current "mirror list" files are special to apt, and are used when 
apt is ran for the first time to get a list of mirrors the user can 
interactively choose from.  The future mirror list will be a lot less 
"sparse" and "cryptic" and will have full information like location, 
bandwidth, hours of operation (if not 24/7) and example yum/apt conf 
entries.  The current files MUST stay the same way they are/were as 
they are really behind the scenes apt config files.
