Thanks for your bugreport.
This is not a bug in apt, the way apt works is that it will try to
reinstall a package from the archive if the meta-data of the archive is
different than the meta-data on the local install (the assumption is
that the local install got corrupted). The problem is (or used to be)
that the PPA packages file was not in sync with the local data (a
soyuz/ppa bug) and that lead apt to reinstall the same package over and
over again.
Cheers,
Michael
