Even though this is nice and fancy, it's a bad hack. IMHO you should
provide/use classes WOODY and SARGE and use scripts/SARGE to change
sources.list on that machine. In task_configure not in task_prepareapt.
I'm aware that your approach is slightly more effective/faster, but I do
believe it's to hackish.
On softupdates apt is set up allready. No need (and no sane way) of updating
it _as_default_.

Please keep in mind the scope of the simple examples... (which in a lot of
peoples opinion should become part of a default config some day.)
