Was this command on the same box as the problematic apt-get update command?
Long time after the command was issued? ("this morning found" suggests a
time between the two).

klecker is serving ftp.d.o.
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/mirror/dsa-auto-dns.git/tree/services/ftp.debian.org.service
From my view
brother ~$ host ftp.debian.org
ftp.debian.org has address 130.89.148.12
ftp.debian.org mail is handled by 0 .
And by now my view have switched to use the ACC provided mirrors just as
your example.
On the other hand the long standing recommendation is to not use ftp.d.o:
https://wiki.debian.org/ftp.debian.org#line-22
The concluding answer to your question is probably "use another
hostname". Either a ftp.xx.d.o host or the geo dns based:
http://httpredir.debian.org
