There's already a couple of bug reports requesting that this be fixed, but I
didn't find any requesting that this long-standing issue be documented.
I would suggest something in /usr/share/doc/apt or in the error message itself
that tells users that the fix/workaround for this problem is edit the
Cache-Limit variable in the apt.conf config file.
Perhaps the patch submitted to the deity list a little while back:

That's because it's been fixed, in that the size of the map has been
increased to accomodate even very large package databases. If you are still
overflowing it, you must have a huge number of packages available, and I'd
be curious to see your sources.list.
