They are hardly related. One is a bug of installer (crashing, wtf?) and was actually for apt-cacher (wtf?) and not acng . The other one is something I would like to solve in a more generic approach. Third one is the first one (wtf?).

First: Adding an extra package with just one config line sounds ridiculous, sorry.

Second: I will not add some very special cute variable for a very special distribution. What I could add is a way to accumulate multiple *PatternEx variables so you can just extend the config as you need it. Then you can go and create your toy package in any way you like it (like adding brute force solutions a-la '.*/wily\.t*z.*'.

Third: I's still prefer to see a solution which is based on an URL location and does not care about the particular name.

Fourth: I am sick of seeing Ubuntu guys inventing more and more funny file paths on their servers that are somehow becoming mandatory in the update process. Can this not be somehow unified and the relevant information distributed a way ahead in a sane way?
