  Sounds good.  Sounds very good.

  I'd parametise that in the config file to allow it to be updated
 easily, but keep things simple for the default case of "--dist=lenny"
 for example.

  So you might have:

  sources_list_lenny=main+src,contrib+src
  sources_list_karmic=universe+foo,

  For example.  Still the idea of making this part more flexible is a
  good one :)
