switch the default $debian_url to use the Debian CDN mirror address.

The CDN checks your IP and uses the Max-Mind geoIP DB to determine your location and then uses your local country Debian Mirror, or if your local country doesn't have a debian mirror, it uses the local continent. It automatically checks and prunes dead mirrors. the technology for the Debian CDN setup is still improving, I believe that ASN-number associations are the next step to attempt to make more informed, finer-grained choices.

This is more useful than using ftp.debian.org because that is just a round-robin DNS entry that could get you any mirror anywhere.
