I just checked on ftp.de.debian.org, it appears that the Packages.bz2 in
debian/dists/sid/main/binary-amd64 and binary-m68k, and only them, contain
the above syntax error. I checked Packages.bz2 for all other architectures,
it is ok. I hope this will be useful to narrow down the search for the bug
causing this misbehaviour.
