This is deb.debian.org
.
This service provides mirrors for the following Debian archive repositories:
/debian/
/debian-debug/
/debian-ports/
/debian-security/
/debian-security-debug/
The server deb.debian.org
does not have packages itself, but the
name has SRV records in DNS that lets apt in stretch and later find places.
To use it with a sufficiently recent apt, you for instance can put
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-debug unstable-debug main deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unstable mainin your
sources.list
.
As of July 2022 the SRV record is
_http._tcp.deb.debian.org. IN SRV 10 1 80 prod.debian.map.fastly.net.If you hit the server behind
deb.debian.org
directly, either because you
use an older apt or because you use a HTTP proxy that does not support SRV records,
your requests will get HTTP redirected to one of the CDN instances.
If you want to avoid the redirects, you can pick one instance directly. For instance,
this also works in your sources.list
