A) I don't see why it's not helpful - those repositories are not ubuntu, and
it would be very wrong imo of Ubuntu to casually change the references to
point to something else, so the only correct action is to remove them; but 
B) "302 Found" - is not an error!  

If this is really stopping the upgrade, it's a bug in the upgrade, not
medibuntu.
