Should this be incorporated into apt in Lenny? It's not hard to apply the patch from Thomas, but it doesn't address feature that apt should not accept Release files without 'Valid-Until' entry after seeing it once earlier. Moreover, current apt architecture IIRC doesn't allow seeing previous Release files while deciding accept or decline just downloaded one -> apt ABI bump may be needed. And this is also another pain for Christian, we just done last (we hope) translation changes for apt. Michael, your opinion? -- Eugene V.
