I can't come up with an explanation for this.
This doesn't really make any sense to me.

I just launched an instance of ami-b5ea34dc, and ran the same 2 commands
above and cannot replicate the issues.  After doing so, I also did:
  apt-get dist-upgrade
which downloaded 86M in 142 packages, and then
  apt-get --download-only --assume-yes install ubuntu-desktop^
which downloaded 454M in 1009 packages

This is a very confusing error indeed.  The fact is that 'Packages', as
opposed to Packages.gz or Packages.bz2 does not really exist anywhere.
The error you're seeing is because the apt did not like the content it
got for Packages.gz or Packages.bz2 (likely both of them) , and fell back
to trying Packages, which resulted in a 404.

Its annoying that apt basically hides the original error.
