Sorry for the delay and thanks for your mail.
This is fallout from a recent change in apt (to handle packages that
have no architectures) in our testsuite. I fixed it in bzr and its
ready to upload but I'm traveling right now and my network is pretty
bad, so building is a bit difficult for me right now. If someone from
the team could upload it that would be great, otherwise I will do it
once I found a reasonable network connection.

I don't have a strong opinion either way, I'm happy to remove the
apt.auth module and upload that to wheezy or use the updated one from
0.8.8 - but I would really like to get the bugfixes from 0.8.8.1 in if
possible.
Cheers,
