DefaultAptSources
Launchpad Entry: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/default-apt-sources

Packages affected: apt, synaptic, aptitude
Summary
Improve the handling for apt when it comes to network sources.
Rationale
As of Ubuntu 5.10, the default sources.list is dynamically generated based on (among other information) whether a network connection was available during the installation of the system. In order to be more consistent in the face of changing hardware (and changing support for hardware), it would be preferable if the network sources were always available, regardless of network availability during installation.
Use cases
