Then this is the latest quirk of the original amprolla... :(

auto.mirror is nowhere in ascii installers, not even in the beta. So
this must be some previous installation upgraded from jessie maybe.

We have already said everywhere that users should use deb.devuan.org,
especially with ascii. We must put this in the release notes for
ASCII, I guess.

I don't think that automatic tools are of any help in this case, since
sources.list can come in an enormous variety of forms, so an automatic
tool will always leave many users unhappy. It's better to ask them to
edit their files accordingly.
