Hi,

I now use a www.debian-multimedia.org mirror that has a
"debian-multimedia" path component behind the host name. This works
with approx using a repo called "debian-multimedia".

I think this bug can be closed, maybe your explanation above could be
added to the manpage to help other people who try to understand the
approx behaviour.

Regards,
Tino
