I've discussed with a few people in the past the idea that we should modify
our setup so that a list of mirror sites for use by apt-get is under fink's
control, just as other kinds of mirror sites are under fink's control

It seems like this may be the moment we need to implement this (on an
emergency basis, it seems).

My idea was that fink should actually write (or modify) the sources.list
file.  If you update the mirror choices, fink would write the correct
entry into sources.list.  In order to allow users to include unofficial
binary depositories, there should also be a prompt during mirror selection
"would you like to use unofficial binary depositories? if so, give the
address here", and allow users to do this an arbitrary number of times.

Can anybody else think of other features this would need to have?
