Severity: normal

and so on. I also tried adding
APT::Get::Tar-Only
to no effect. Is there in fact a way to turn off pdiff downloads?

That's because Joey (Martin)'s example is subtly wrong. Acquire::Pdiffs
is a boolean, not a list.
Acquire::Pdiffs "false";
works fine, as does the syntax given in the documentation:
Acquire {
PDiffs "false";
};
The information reportbug added to your report shows the problem:
Acquire "";
Acquire::Pdiffs "";
Acquire::Pdiffs:: "false";
This should be
Acquire ""
Acquire::Pdiffs "false";
which is what the above will give you.
Closing this report as the feature works as documented.
Regards,
Adam
