This worked with upgrades to the current LTS version (10.04). My
organization has a fairly large number of Ubuntu workstations running
the current LTS release, and we have a private mirror to speed up
updates and installs (and reduce the burden on the public mirrors).

I did a trial upgrade from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS today to see if there
would be issues when it releases, and I ran into this regression. (All
private mirror sources get disabled without any option to rewrite.)

I suspect (but have not confirmed) that the issue may be related to the
automatic addition of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/prerequisites-
sources.list, which probably confuses the code that checks to see if you
have any valid official repositories enabled.

Perhaps the heuristic that is used to determine whether you have a
private mirror could be improved slightly?

It would be really awesome if this were fixed before the 12.04 LTS
release so that LTS -> LTS upgrades at large deployments with internal
mirrors do not all get bitten by this regression.
