Description
I think that a menu to configure repository pinning would be nice, especially because of the differences of Mint's /etc/apt directory compared to other distro's. (Stuff like /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ instead of /etc/apt/sources.list)

Research direction
Start by examining the existing settings or repository-management entry points in mintsources, then compare how /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ are handled. Done means the application provides a menu for configuring repository pinning and accounts for the differing Mint and other distribution layouts.
