Description
If install media (DVDs) for Debian and Ubuntu were available as an NFS URL then this would avoid the need for VPS to store local copies of the .deb files as packages are installed/upgraded.
Full binary mirrors for x86 and amd64 are around 130G in size each so this seems like a poor use of resources, especially when only a fraction of those packages would ever be used, but providing the DVD installation media may be reasonable.
This would probably have to be limited to the latest stable/LTS release for x86 and amd64.
