Just for the record, in case anyone reads this:
I filed a bug report for apt about this issue
( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827365 ),
however it showed that a new feature in apt stops apt from accepting the
kind of hhtp(s) redirects sourceforge now uses. This at least explains
the initially odd observation that the sf repo still works with outdated
versions of apt.
So it looks like (at least for now) it is simply not possible to use
debian repositories hosted on sourceforge.
I added a note about this to the ticket at
https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/12143/ , so they hopefully
will know what to do if they care to fix this.
For now obviously the best choice seems to move one's repos to a
different hosting service.

Michael
