Hm. There should have been no uses of sprintf. Wonder how those snuck in.
IMHO the sprintf fixes to indexcopy are not worthwhile (they should be
snprintf however)..
However, the change to the http method is rather nice, should have done
that to start with. There is also some code in apt-pkg/acquire-method that
could use this to considerable benifit too.
