My take on this: it doesn't mater much. Do what you feel is convenient. Everything else is just bikesheding. What you proposed seem reasonable to me. But I don't really see the purpose, and why a .azure or something isn't enough, or why can't you just fix things in httpredir.debian.org. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
