Have your tested this? It leaves me with no checkboxes for main and 
universe in the GUI.

Here's what I found: according to /etc/lsb-release the name of our 
release is deltah-updates instead of deltah. That confuses python-apt, 
because when it reads /usr/share/python-apt/templates/gNewSense.info it 
thinks that the main suite is deltah-updates. The section for the main 
suite should have its BaseURI set, because its child suites fall back to it.

The piece of code this patch applies to makes a list of URIs from 
sources.list. Only the URIs that match that of the main suite or that of 
one of its children are valid. It then adds the main URI if that's not 
in there and the URI of the nearest server if that's not in there. So 
with this patch that leaves us with the URI of deltah-updates, which is 
missing.

A proper workaround is to replace deltah-updates with deltah in 
/etc/lsb-release. But we would need to find out why it is that way in 
the first place.
