Hi NCW
Your issue with samba stems security.debian.org having a really sloppy
repository with 2 versions of the same package in the same suite and
amprolla ignores the second entry in the Packages file for that one.
Additionally security.debian.org also has an issue in that samba-common
shouldn't be in Binary-amd64/Packages[.gz|.xz] at all as it's an
Architecture independent package. So somebody or something really
screwed up there. I've raised the issue with s.d.o about their archive
being borked.
Anyway to work around this we'll need to fix amprolla to deal with the
first issue... the second doesn't seem harmful and we don't want the
additional overhead of having to check that whilst building the merged
mirrors.
