Meanwhile we adjusted our VM bootstrapping so the new wheezy VMs we rolled out already use http.d.n ;-) We thought about adding some maintainers script magic for neurodebian package to adjust those existing entries but agreed that it would be better just to announce users (and provide 1 liner) to switch to http.d.n on existing systems — that one yet TODO ;)

So your users shouldn’t have any problems!

But as for VMs — yes, current one is affected. Now that we know that this one gets deprecated (sorry — we missed original notice), we will look into switching. whenever wheezy gets released, we will push out updated one so will be off the hook there.
May be we should also look into crafting a little postinst script for one of our packages to suggest users a substitution away from geomirror

I had no idea this was going on. In this case it would indeed make sense to try and keep this online a bit longer, possibly taking Thijs’ suggestion above.
Have you been using it for a long time? Is the current NeuroDebian release also affected?

We configure NeuroDebian virtual appliance http://neuro.debian.net/vm.html to use $(ARCH)-geomirror. And there might be quite a few existing “installations” — so even if new ones would migrate — all other existing users would be left behind. So I would be really thankful if one or another $(ARCH)-geomirror.d.n remains available
