Valid-Until and snapshot or archives

Hi,

I recently found myself with the problem that I have tu use one source
from snapshot.debian.org (fuse as it is broken in sid) and the
Valid-Until time setting in the release file and apt revoking to use
that one.

Generally I think the Valid-Until is a good think so I do not want to
switch it of globally (Acquire::Check-Valid-Until) but for this
particular source only. However, this might be a solution for me (well
there is no way at the moment if I see correct), this shows a more
general problem.

So the question is how to handle that Valid-Until header in archive
release files? Should Archives remove them (then that is a bug of
snapshot.debian.org) or should there be a switch in apt config to
disable it for one particular source URL?

Regards
