Public bug reported:
It'd be really great if the mirror method could be configured to use a
local file for the mirror list.
eg in /etc/apt/source.list.d/mysoftware.list
deb mirror://file://apt/mirrors/mysoftware.txt trusty main
Instead of pulling the file via http (as per current behaviour) and
choosing a mirror from that list, apt should read the local file and
choose from the list in the same way.
