They are available:
	[huggie@bounce ~]$ apt-cache showpkg libapt-inst-libc6.3-5-1.0
	Package: libapt-inst-libc6.3-5-1.0
	Versions: 

	Reverse Depends: 
	  python-apt,libapt-inst-libc6.3-5-1.0
	  python-apt,libapt-inst-libc6.3-5-1.0
	Dependencies: 
	Provides: 
	Reverse Provides: 
	apt-utils 0.5.8

Shows this one is provided by apt-utils.

If you apt-cache show apt-utils you'll see:
	Package: apt-utils
[..]
	Version: 0.5.8
	Provides: libapt-inst-libc6.3-5-1.0
for unstable for example.

Unstable's apt provides libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3 which is the other you
complained about.

I think they've provided these new versions since 0.5.5 or so.
Certainly 0.5.5.1 provides them.
