AFAIK everything can also be found on merkel though.

I doubt that that is the cause as I do remember considering that aspect
when we made the change. For that reason my patches also still force a
real by-hand for uploads of tasksel to stable.
/me looks on merkel...
Hmmm, mk-extra-overrides.sh has this:
for s in lenny sid; do
for c in main contrib non-free; do
echo "Making $opath/override.$s.extra.$c"
So it looks like the problem is that that script should have been updated
to 'for s in squeeze sid; do' when lenny was released, but that this was
forgotten.
Perhaps the releases to act on should not be hardcoded but instead taken
from some configuration file?
