The ones I had checked seem to be mirrors of archive.canonical.com. I take it archive.ubuntu.com is supposed to be authoritative.

Should apt-file be somehow responsible for picking a fallback server if the one in /etc/apt/sources.list does not carry Contents-<arch>.gz, or should all mirrors be required to also mirror the Contents files?

@ubuntu-mirror-admins: any opinion on this?
