The Debian system is a large, complex, world-wide network.  The archive
is the database from which the package management software on your
machine fetches packages.  It has many mirrors around the world, most
not under the direct control of Debian.  Digital signatures are used to
maintain security.  The Security archive is an exception: it is never
mirrored.

Behind the archive is some truly amazing custom software developed over
the life of Debian.
