Not really sure why you felt this was relevant?

Yeah, worked fine for Ubuntu 20.04 too. Don't have 18.04 installed atm, so
can't tell if it would work there. 18.04 uses apt_1.6 vs. Buster uses 1.8. (It
should work from apt>=1.1 onwards i think, but maybe needs testing?)

So, only thing needed really is to provide .sources file for the various
distro's and a minor update to the install wiki's.
