I can't reproduce this. Here's the output for an installed and an
uninstalled package on my laptop (jessie) and my apt-cacher-ng box
(wheezy).
$ apt-get changelog sed

So it looks like something might be misconfigured somewhere.
My /etc/apt/apt.conf contains
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.1.19:3142/";;
Sources files are
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
and
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free
Or another possibilty: I'm running the apt-cacher-ng version from
wheezy-backports, otherwise I get problems expiring the post-wheezy
packages.
Cheers,
David.
