Apparently they have deprecated httpredir while I wasn't looking.

sources.list files for Ubuntu and Debian
========================================
The files have been named so they are easily to fetch with script,
`lsb_release -sr` returns release e.g. `14.04` or `testing` and
`lsb_release -rc` returns codename e.g. `jessie`.
`mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt` and `deb.debian.org` are used so
the files work everywhere and the nearest mirrors are always used no matter
where you are.
Which script to use?
--------------------
* `install` for Ubuntu and Debian testing/unstable.
* If you run `ìnstall` on Debian Stable, sources.list will say
`stable` and when new Debian becomes stable apt wants to
upgrade to it directly and that can be dangerous.
* `install.debian` for not-rolling Debian.
Usage
-----
1. Become root with `sudo su -`
2. Download the script using appropiate distribution and curl **or** wget
depending on which you have installed:
* Ubuntu/Debian testing/unstable:
* `curl -L http://git.io/vqhtJ > sources.list.install`
* `wget http://git.io/vqhtJ -O sources.list.install`
* Debian
* `curl -L http://git.io/vqhtF > sources.list.install`
* `wget http://git.io/vqhtF -O sources.list.install`
3. `chmod +x sources.list.install`
4. `./sources.list.install`
5. *optionally* `rm sources.list.install`
