In the code, or the Change Log or the README.

No. Setup will always contain relative URL's in setup.ini, and thus
setup.hint. Don't debate this - think about how mirroring works instead.

End users can use multiple mirror sites and setup will retrieve packages
only from the sites that have them though - so if you want to add
packages into the userlist, just create a setup.ini and publish the URL
to that for folk to use.
