ack.

one question/remark: 

+# It's also possible to have "virtual" entries to provide aliases
+# e.g. to combine several partial distributions
+[squeeze-current]
+uri = None
+depends = squeeze/updates squeeze-updates

thats nice and fancy, but I would this actually to be the default. I'm not 
really interested in testing squeeze alone, I always want to test (eg) 
squeeze+security.


cheers,
