That happens if you have a Sources.gz entry saing some source will
build the package but you don't have any deb for it or if something
depends on it and you don't have a deb for it. I think this also
happen sif the package is already installed but no longer available.
apt-get knows it should be there (or was there) but it currently has
no url for it.
