Override of sid distro config breaks mirrors

Override of sid distro config breaks mirrors

[Moessbauer, Felix]

Dear devs,

the distro "debian-sid" and "debian-sid-ports" is currently specified
both in ISAR and in isar-cip-core. While in ISAR standard debian
mirrors are used, cip-core pins that to a specific release on
snapshots.debian.org.

This breaks use-cases where local mirrors shall be used, as these do
not support snapshots. Also, this "infects" other layers that actually
want to use sid "as-is".

Please consider renaming this distro to "cip-<distro>" to get rid of
this ambiguity.

Best regards,
Felix Moessbauer

You mean the list files, which override the list files provided by ISAR? 
Because the only distribution in isar-cip-core is `cip-core-sid-ports`.

This looks to me like a workaround to override DISTRO_APT_SOURCES
from `conf/distro/debian-sid-ports.conf`.

I pushed a fix at

Thanks Quirin. I tested it and can confirm that this solves the issue.
