time ago.

Title:
  security.ubuntu.com lines in sources.list get overwritten with the
  mirror chosen by the user

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  It is best to keep the security.ubuntu.com lines at the end of your
  /etc/apt/sources.list when you use a mirror to make sure you get
  timely security updates even if your mirror breaks. [1]

  [1] http://www.outflux.net/blog/archives/2008/08/20/ubuntu-security-
  repository-structure/

  However, when the user selects a mirror from the list provided by the Software Sources tool, the tool will replace all security.ubuntu.com entries with references to the same mirror. I expected it to keep the security.ubuntu.com lines, either as the only source of security updates (by leaving them intact) or as a secondary source that comes after the selected mirror. For instance, a line such as
    deb http://mirror.example.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted
  would be followed by a line like
    deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted

  I'm testing with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Beta 2 booted from the live DVD.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Back up your /etc/apt/sources.list.
  2. Open System → Administration → Software Sources.
  3. On the Ubuntu Software tab (opened by default) select "Other..." from the "Download from" drop-down list. A "Choose a Download Server" window will open.
  4. Select Russian Federation → mirror.yandex.ru and click Choose Server.
  5. Compare your updated /etc/apt/sources.list to the backup.
