Bug description:
  [Impact]

  * since ubuntu disco, main repositories contains 'cnf' directory with
  'Commands*' files. those files are compressed with xy, whereas apt-
  mirror 0.5.1 doesn't contain the patch which enable download of .xz
  compressed files

  * Without this update, users are not able to mirror newer releases of
  Ubuntu.

  [Test Case]

  * On any release of Ubuntu install apt-mirror and add this line to
  /etc/apt/mirror.list:

  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-updates main restricted
  universe multiverse

  * sync the mirror using `apt-mirror`

  * Attempt to run `apt update` against the mirror. The result will be
  similar to:

  ...

  ...

  * Updating the apt-mirror package from ppa:slashd/test and then re-
  running the `apt-mirror` command will then allow a successful `apt
  update`.

  [Regression Potential]

  * The regression potential is low since the package doesn't currently
  work properly anyway.
