I know, I'm running them myself :-) And I need several hacks to get
lenny working ...

Although your hack looks like something that could be generalized to
something that can be shipped ... although ideally there should be some
configuration file that maps distributions to URLs ... and you may need
more than one URL for a certain codename (e.g. squeeze security).
