Nope, changing the site location is not a good idea, see below.

The problem with ftp.debian.org URLs is that they are not stable. As
Debian moves forward, whois 5.4.3 will become no longer packaged in
Debian, and will disappear from ftp.debian.org. snapshot.debian.org
URLs however are stable. So we should continue to use a
snapshot.debian.org URL.

Thanks!
