Uh, sorry to not making that clear enough. _I_ know how to (temporarily)
fix that. But the problem is that the stable version has a hard limit
which is not that far away from real setups. And I want not to hear the
crying if every user add a bug report cause he is not able to fix it
themself.

And a simple upgrade to the unstable version is no solution as there is
several dependencies which are incompatible between stable and unstable.
(On my system this was only libapt-pkg-perl which makes several packages
to get purged when installing the unstable version.)

Doesn't help as the limit is hard coded in apt. Just look at the source.
The problem was fixed in versions after stable.
