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.

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Fetch installer components from -updates and -security as well as the
      unadorned suite; various hacks to deal with finding -security.
    - Make sure never to download udebs from components other than main and
      restricted.
    - Depend on ubuntu-keyring-udeb rather than debian-archive-keyring-udeb.
    - Fetch installer components from -proposed if apt-setup/proposed is
      true.
    - Fetch udebs from components listed in mirror/udeb/components.
    - Fetch security updates path from apt-setup/security_path if possible.
    - Deduplicate Packages files before passing them to anna.
    - Fetch packages from security host if trying to fetch them from the
      main host fails.
