iirc, there is an amprolla instance that serves auto.mirror.devuan.org
which is the default on the jessie isos. Even though it is now
deprecated, there are still users who pop up with auto.mirror in their
sources.list. They are advised to use deb.devuan.org. This setup wasn't
by design it is an indication of Devuan improving things. I also suspect
that the jessie mirror is running on nextime's original amprolla which
is different from parazyd's current amprolla3.
