Bug Description
In PES, we've been developing a set of patches that allow d-i to pull udebs from multiple sources, allowing us to build normal d-i images and do ARM enablements completely out of a PPA. I'd like to get this support landed so we have to carry a smaller delta, and perhaps allow others to use this for out-of-archive enablements. I'm currently forward-porting everything to trusty; this code has been in use for the slayton enablement for the last several months.
I will have a test archive up to test functionality, and want to make sure my code looks sane before uploading.

In my enablement work, I've been overloading apt-setup/ local0/ repository as the mechanism for installing a kernel from an alternate archive. I'll attach the relevant portion of the patch.
