Yeah, well, actually, I believe using snapshot.debian.org is a better
idea, since it guarantees that files won't be moved. While using
$(BR2_DEBIAN_MIRROR) means that we point to locations where tarballs
will disappear at some point. At least, we've seen that in the past.

So maybe we should rather get rid of BR2_DEBIAN_MIRROR and make sure
all packages downloading their source from Debian use
snapshot.debian.org instead.

Thoughts?
