Hi,

it would be nice to allow specifying RFC822-style apt sources from local
files, both as a main mirror and as additional package sources.

For example, I have a local mirror that uses a different signing key
(because I import packages from Debian, and add a few of my own), and
I'd like to debootstrap using

    debootstrap bookworm /tmp/bookworm my-mirror.sources

which would provide both the URL and the signing key to verify.

In the same vein, I have a few extra packages that use regular Debian as
a base, but have additional build dependencies that are also only in my
repository, for those I'd like to use something like

    debootstrap --othermirror my-packages.sources bookworm /tmp/bookworm

And, last but not least, I sometimes need to combine these. In either
case, the signing key for that source is provided inline in the .sources
file.

Hi,

I don't know if you are aware of it but I believe that mmdebstrap does
already support that.

https://manpages.debian.org/sid/mmdebstrap/mmdebstrap.1.en.html

« The MIRROR option may either be provided as a URI, in apt one-line
format, as a path to a file in apt's one-line or deb822-format, or "-". »

Cheers,
