I'm surprised this worked all these years actually. Since Ansible
version 1.6 it has been possible to use the version_compare filter
instead of doing math logic on strings.

Automatically uses the best mirror for your location, see:

Should be much better than any hardcoded default for most hosts.

New hosts often fail due to not having an apt_mirror, because there
isn't one defined for their group and their host_vars haven't over-
ridden it.
We want new hosts to deploy successfully, so let's just use a default
apt_mirror if there isn't one defined. Rather have a slow mirror than
a failed deployment. And in any case, Linode can download from KENET's
mirror at 10MB/sec. ;)
