Hi,
I don't know if it helps or hinders this bug since I have rather
different reasons from Ian, but I found myself looking at this bug today
because I also wanted a way to get hold of an [In]Release file. The
difference is that I'm not trying to get hold of it for a particular
package, but for

My puzzlement comes mostly from you seeming to have a very clear idea
about what you want (= the Origin and Codename field of

Ian.
Package: apt
Version: 1.3.1
Control: block 848193 by -1
Dear apt maintainers:

I can use `apt-cache madison' to find the archive URL and the
locations
