I have been working on apt-proxy recently and have a version that we have been using
for a while with some success.  Could you try http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/apt-proxy
and let me know if you have any better luck.  If you have GNU tail and stat installed,
it will use them to advantage.   Note that the development environment is Linux and
bash, so there may be some dependencies that I am unaware of - altough I am told it
will work using ash as a shell.
