Package: software-properties-gtk
Version: 0.60.debian-1.1

If user tries to use local server (Download From: Server for Lithuania),
software-properties-gtk 0.60.debian-1.1 (squeeze/testing) updates
/etc/apt/sources.list to use ftp.lt.debian.org. Debian does not have DNS
records for localized servers. IMHO Ubuntu feature incorrectly used in
Debian package or appropriate DNS entries are not set in debian.org zone.
If I choose "Download From: Other", both Lithuanian mirrors are listed
there.
