Sorry for not following up on this sooner. I ran into some indications that my system might have been tampered with, so I decided that the only safe option was to take it off of the net for a few days and reinstall/configure everything. Oh well... I'd been meaning to dig a bit deeper into security issues for awhile (I wasn't intending it to be under these circumstances, tho).
On to the topic at hand, however... I think I'm going to leave apt-move.conf where it is for the time being. When version 4.0 (the Perl rewrite) is released, I'll check with the apt team and if they don't object I'll probably move it under /etc/apt at that time. It should come much closer to handling what apt-get can give it at that time (arbitrary number of mirrors, etc.). Thanx to everyone for your input!
