etch-proposed-updates amd64 Release file fails checksum [Was: possible problem with ftp.us.debian.org]

[Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com>]

Dear Developers,

I found a problem with our package repository for
amd64 in etch-proposed-updates.

More than a month ago I filed a bug report
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=418956
which was merged with another one later on
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=419505
but problem persists and no workarounds were mentioned.

IIRC amd64 is the 2nd most popular architecture, and most of the people
use proposed-updates, I just wonder if there is any workaround, or when
the issue gets resolved.

Thanks in advance for ideas
