+ Like changelogs, snapshots can only be acquired if an URI is known from where to get them.
+ Preferable the Release file indicates this in a 'Snapshots' field. If this isn't
+ available the Label/Origin field of the Release file is used to check if a
+ <literal>Acquire::Snapshots::URI::Label::<replaceable>LABEL</replaceable></literal> or
+ <literal>Acquire::Snapshots::URI::Origin::<replaceable>ORIGIN</replaceable></literal> option
+ exists and if so this value is taken. The value in the Release file can be overridden
+ with <literal>Acquire::Snapshots::URI::Override::Label::<replaceable>LABEL</replaceable></literal>
+ or <literal>Acquire::Snapshots::URI::Override::Origin::<replaceable>ORIGIN</replaceable></literal>.
+
+ The value should be a normal URI to a directory, except that the snapshot ID replaced with the
+ placeholder <literal>@SNAPSHOTID</literal>.

+ The special value '<literal>no</literal>' is available for this option indicating that
+ this source cannot be used to acquire snapshots from. Another source will be tried
