It seems to me it's really something else.

In fact, there is no problem with "apt-get update". The command that fails
is "apt-get -t apt-build install hello", and it still appears to me as an
apt bug.
APT::Default-Release is not set on my system, AFAIK, and I changed
temporarily my aptpinning file as below. Here is an illustration:
# cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/aptpinning
Package: *
Pin: release a=apt-build
Pin-Priority: 800
Package: *
Pin: release n=apt-build
Pin-Priority: 800
Package: *
Pin: release o=apt-build
Pin-Priority: 800
Package: *
Pin: release l=apt-build
Pin-Priority: 800

# LANG=C apt-get -s install -t apt-build hello
Reading package lists... Done
E: The value 'apt-build' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release
is not available in the sources
( -o APT::Default-Release=* doesn't help here )
What are the "sources" here ? The "sources.list" or the apt code ? How are
defined release values ? How can I set "apt-build" as a valid distribution
name ? How can I force, with apt-get, the installation of the apt-build
version ?
I'm not so interested in apt-build itself. But I have several local
repositories with arbitrary distribution names and I can't define a
Pin-Priority to one of them or use "apt-get install -t foo ...". That's the
same problem.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid my interest with apt-build itself will vanish
shortly.
Anyway, here is an improved patch that can be used to make it work,
using dpkg instead of apt.
