Gosh.  I like it :-)  
urpmi.setup seems to use the online database of urpmi sources at PLF. So it 
should be possible to dynamically adjust the list as sources are 
added/deleted.

Every release of Mandrake has nice new goodies like this, but all too often 
very few people ever find out about them. I hope this little app is clearly 
marked somewhere since the people who need it most are the ones who are least 
likely to find it.

(An example of a neglected new feature is the Samba setup wizard - To set up a 
basic Samba server, all you have to do is press the Samba wizard button in 
Mandrake Control Centre.  Only problem is you have to install the drakwizard 
RPM before you can see the button)
