Various places in the security tracker hardcode various data from
Debian's apt repositories, including those from the list below. It would
be nice if the security-tracker could fetch that data (daily) from the
Debian apt repositories instead. The list of repositories could be
fetched from the Repositories file proposed in #761348.

The list of repositories to fetch data from.

The list of suite names (unstable etc).

The list of architectures available in each suite.

The list of components available in each suite.

The codename for each active suite.

The list codenames of archived suites.
