Package: ftp.debian.org
Hi,
The debian-non-US archive has been obsolete since the release of sarge
in 2005. Indeed, even for sarge users it doesn't make any difference because
the package indices are empty.
So, regardless of the fact that sarge as oldstable is still kept under
debian/, it doesn't make sense any more to distribute a list of debian-non-US
mirrors on the debian/ mirror sites. It just confuses the users and
mirror administrators into thinking that non-US is still alive and
related to the current debian/ archive, when it is not.
Please rm $ftpdir/README.non-US and apply the following simple patch:

(We will keep the list on the web site, and the leftover data in
Mirrors.masterlist.)
TIA.
