The problem that I had originally was that the files related to the
release were indeed downloaded via an 'update' however the information
that was kept in the db/packages.db was wrong and consequently the
distribution Packages file was incorrect.
What exactly was incorrect? I'm out of guesses. There is no way to check
against something without knowing what this something is.
It seems that I had saved the defective Packages file. I just needed to
look a bit harder. Anyway the aptitude (total) entry for the armel dist
release was:

Description: terminal-based package manager (terminal interface only)
aptitude is a package manager with a number of useful features,
including: a mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a flexible
manner, dselect-like persistence of user actions, the ability to
retrieve and display the Debian changelog of most packages, and a
command-line mode similar to that of apt-get.
.
aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing,
and housebroken.
.
This package contains a version of aptitude compiled with only the
classic terminal-based interface (using curses). For an experimental
graphical interface, see the package aptitude-gtk.
Tag: admin::configuring, admin::package-management, implemented-in::c++,
interface::commandline, interface::text-mode, role::program,
scope::application, suite::debian, uitoolkit::ncurses, use::browsing,
use::configuring, works-with::software:package
A couple of obvious things are wrong. Possibly more.

-jeff
