Thanks for looking into this,

There is also a minor problem when used from wheezy, putting it here so it
gets indexed and more available to web searches.

Using wheezy apt 0.9.7.9 in a wheezy box,

# apt-get update
...
Err http://people.debian.org ./ Packages
  301  Moved Permanently [IP: 5.153.231.30 80]
...

# apt-get install apt-transport-https
...
Setting up apt-transport-https (0.9.7.9+deb7u2) ...

# apt-get update
Err http://people.debian.org ./ Packages
  301  Moved Permanently [IP: 5.153.231.30 80]

Changing http://people.debian.org to https://people.debian.org fixes the
problem, once apt-transport-https is installed. Not a big problem, I do not
think this worths a new bug report.
