By the way, someone might ask "why not rename sources.list to
sources.list.uwa and then make a copy called sources.list and edit the
new sources.list file without having to comment out all the UWA lines?".
My reason is that I have various other APT sources, not just the
official Debian mirrors, so if I create duplicates files it is likely
that I'll forget to maintain them properly.

The Debian woody version of APT does not seem to support an 'include'
directive (or similar) to aggregate multiple sources.lists. Perhaps a
useful new feature would be an 'include' syntax. Then I could have a
sources.list master file that could include sources.list.stable.uwa,
sources.list.testing.aarnet, sources.list.blah, or whatever, and it
would be easy to swap mirrors by commenting or uncommenting the
'include' directives.
