Hello, this tool can be used for many purposes other than "selecting the
fastest Debian mirror".

For example: Just now I had a big list of IPv6 tunnel brokers and wanted
to find which one of them had the least latency for me.

Please restore it and disable the "netselect-apt" part of it, which
obviously isn't useful to Ubuntu by default without an Ubuntu mirror
list.

Lastly, you may take the following as a rant: Just because a mirror is
in the same country, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the fastest or
most frequently updated. Right now I'm using nl.archive.ubuntu.com even
though I'm in Greece, as NTUA's mirror broke down once again a few days
ago, and before that, Otenet (my ISP) stopped updating theirs a few
months ago as well.

Cheers,
Antonio
