I seem to have neglected to type the line I had intended saying "If
this change needs to wait for post-buster anyway, then we could cut down
the number of sed/grep invocations".

This was not meant as a suggestion that we should do this sort of thing
this late, particularly since the suggested patch may actually be broken
if it's supposed to be able to deal with, e.g.:

  deb [arch=amd64] file:///...

because that won't currently end up as:

  deb [arch=amd64] copy:///...

so I completely sympathise with Cyril's caution.

Cheers, Phil.
