I don't think a --suites parameter would fix this problem because you want "resolute-security" with a different mirror security.ubuntu.com. I think what we want here is a better distro-info-data-extra which we can tell "I want the defaults for Ubuntu Resolute" and it would give you above list of mirror URLs, suites and signed-by, no? Thanks! cheers, josch
