[Bug 1583544] Re: an official mirror doesn't show in mirrors list in Update Center, Ubuntu 16.04

[Julian Andres Klode]

It's automatically run during an (upstream) build from the git
repository, which was on Jan 20. The mirror list is usually not updated
anymore then once it hits a stable Ubuntu release.

A better approach would be to ship a mirror list in the archive that APT
can fetch during an apt update.

Title:
  an official mirror doesn't show in mirrors list in Update Center,
  Ubuntu 16.04

Status in python-apt package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  There is an official mirror mirrors.cug.edu.cn and I have seen it
  listed in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/mirrors.cug.edu.cn-archive, but I can't find it in Update Center in Ubuntu 16.04, Chinese  mirrors list. 

  It seems that the package python-apt ships a template file for the list
  of mirrors, and then it doesnt get updated over time.
  There is a function called get_ubuntu_lp_mirrors but it doesnt seem to
  be used.
