To me this has more to do with the mirror selection algorithm than with
localization. Mirrors from the mirror:// pseudo-protocol should be chosen in
such a way that they are both load-balanced, and optimized for local users.
Preferably this should work without user interference.
The same should hold for multiple source locations in the ebuild itself, but
it is less important.
