 Builds are sometimes failing on Jenkins because it is unable to connect to
 the Debian and Ubuntu mirrors at http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/. For example:
 https://jenkins.torproject.org/job/tor-ci-
 linux-0.2.8/ARCHITECTURE=amd64,SUITE=wheezy/23/console

 Debian has the [http://httpredir.debian.org/ HTTP mirror redirector] which
 could solve the problem by automatically picking different mirrors. Ubuntu
 has a similar solution by using the
 [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine#Explanation_of_the_Repository_Format
 global archive].
