Bug Description

The current list of mirrors in software-properties is static (and part of python-apt). This needs to get moved to software-properties and it needs to be able to update the mirror list regularly within the softtware-properties GUI.

This bug is particularly annoying on older releases, say, 10.04.

Because mirrors goes in and out.
Users using older releases have to edit sources.list themselves to utilize newly approved mirrors.
Users using older releases may also waste time on discontinued mirrors.
