False Start on Cobbler Repos -> Apt RepoMD statements

Man, I know so little python.  And while I hate it, I see that it's a deficiency I need to fix.  That sucks, but I may just find it useful eventually.

So I was poking around, and started to extend cobbler to feed an apt sources.list files the same as it does for a yum repo file when a given profile or system has supplemental repos attached. 

But all I did was start.  The curve's a bit high since I know so little, and I have so many other things I have to do -- like, for money.

Here's a tiny patch so far.  I'll find the rest eventually:

Yeah, that's all I've got.  Lose the comment on the ulines+= line, and then find out the part where /op/apt/system/ actually rolls the template snippet for the apt sources.list file.  I see it here and there but can't nail down the bit in the code.  Frustrating, almost as much as running out of frivolity time.


Learning is fun, when I have time.
