Is there not one in the archive (it would be section admin)?
If not, compile it yourself - that's what I did. Download the latest APT
source package from dists/frozen/source/admin/apt*. If you haven't built a
debian package before, the basic pattern is dpkg-source -x <package>.dsc, cd
into the newly unpacked directory, and debian/rules binary.
Then dpkg -i the deb which has been created.
Expect the number of good quality packages in sid to increase when we have
the new glibc, meaning that I can compile things more easily without
segfaults...
