It does – beside our testcases every stable user is verifying this as an InRelease file does not exist for stable ATM for technical reasons (which I guess the FTP masters told you, but you misunderstood it after they misunderstood your question). So there is something very specific about your setup at play here you haven't told us yet. :) Please show use the COMPLETE (and at best LANG=C) output of the commands which seem to fail for you so that we have a chance to figure it out. You can btw generate bugreports with "reportbug" (or -ng). While that can sent the mail directly, it can also store the mail in a file to be sent from another machine.
