Can you please figure out a way not to let this happen, even for one
minute.
Why? Because one of these months one day I will go to town to burn my
sid upgrades CDROM to take back to my rural location.
And if on that day I cannot get all my upgrades without any bloops and
blunders, then it will have to wait for next time months away.
Often it is not be burning the CDROM, so it all must work without any
such snags.
You might say that oh, just try back later, the problem will be gone
soon. But then I miss my chance for months. You might even not think
twice about what I'm saying and close this bug "momentary bug... fixed
by itself".
As I assume this momentary blunder is characteristic of the whole
Debian packaging system, then please copy this bug to where it belongs
too.

Hope I can upgrade from 17 to 18 when the time comes for me to go to town!
