I made this the master for bug 108601 and all its duplicates:

  Update-manager needs help info when terminating on wrong repositories and generally deal better with incorrect sources.list data

since that bug has a lot of garbage comments, making it hard to read. The first couple comments are articulate, though. Also, the launchpad questions related to that bug don't show up here. Just a lot of evidence that users are running into problems with update-manager blowing up on sources.list entries.

Perhaps that bug could be seen as having a slightly larger scope, but I think the basic needs are the same. Thanks.
