"The owner of a bug claims responsibility for fixing it."[1] I don't

Yes, dists/$codename/Contents-$arch.gz is now a symlink to
main/Contents-$arch.gz. We do not want to duplicate ~12*24 MB of
information.
I think this was changed in b36379705f3f2a52788ad19cf1da339c4edf339d
back in March 2011 and announced in [2]. Note that the compatibility
symlinks will be removed once squeeze moved to archive.d.o.

Then please use all of {main,contrib,non-free}/Contents-*.gz.
