Correct, unforch I asked for the exact syntax because the entries I've
tried don't work.

>/etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
I also looked at that. The problem I think is that not all mirrors
have exactly the same directory tree structure. The syntax is
somewhat different from the yum syntax so the $releasever and
$basearch aren't being properly translated (I think, I'm probably
wrong). And trying to search around with gftp or mozilla, then
duping that path displayed into synaptic also seems to missfire.
