But you still only download a single version per package, so you might
not get all the needed sources (and you most likely download a lot more
than you need).

I personally dislike the patch as it's a bit of a hack, but if there's
really a need for something like this then perhaps - But wouldn't it
make more sense if we instead tried harder to ensure all the package
versions we support were available on our mirror?
