Binary packages are affected too (Debian lenny):

I believe the limit are 2^31-1 bytes. A 2123001900 byte file in our repo
works, a 2488475395 byte file does not. We stumble over this problem
regularly because we are using APT to distribute Windows programs onto
our software deployment servers, and those programs can be quite big.
