 We've discussed this before and IIRC nobody was against getting rid of
BR2_DEBIAN_MIRROR. Well, looking back through my mail archives, it looks like
you (Thomas) said a couple of times to use snapshot instead of BR2_DEBIAN_MIRROR
and nobody objected.

 I certainly agree that using snapshot is a better idea. We now have a mix of 17
packages using BR2_DEBIAN_MIRROR and 10 packages using snapshot.debian.org, and
AFAIK we never had any problem with the snapshot packages.

 Regards,
 Arnout
