And yes, I've seen 900ms latency to our servers before, and I'm on a reasonably quick connection, even by Korean or Swedish standards. I'd hate to think what connectivity to our servers would be if I were on a poor connection. (I'm far happier now that I've switched to mirror.anl.gov; 70 ms latency means my apt-get updates are now done in just 47 seconds rather than the nearly two minutes I got when using our servers. But my needs are a bit of an outlier..) Perhaps HTTP/2's better use of single sessions[1] will improve things drastically, but waiting for HTTP/2-compatible apt-get and servers feels like a long way to go around turning off the deb-src lines by default.
