Bug#474947: Appears to be testing
This appears to be due to testing. Removing the binary line for it (or
rather the mirror) from /etc/apt/sources.list made this go away. Removing
any of the other repositories failed to make the problem disappear. I was
even able to produce core files (seems to suggest a bigger problem).
I must *strongly* suggest that any fix for this needs to be included with
the next revision to etch. Otherwise users of etch will be unable to
upgrade when lenny is released.
Core details:

Hopefully 0.7.11 *fixes* this and isn't merely another short-term
workaround.
