This is definitely related to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=400768 . Has been fixed upstream, I think (in
fact, Lenny's apt is 0.7.18 ). Could be not trivial to backport though,
as the fixes break apt's ABI according to upstream's bug report.

This should not be expired IMHO; I, for instance, used to track debian's
repositories as well to install some packages only available there, or
not yet "backported" to ubuntu such as virt-manager or openoffice-3.0
without having to trust some unknown PPA.
