There are _no_ pdiffs for stable. For testing and sid, there are and they are
used even if you use http.d.n.

I haven't looked at the code, but from a pcap, it seems APT isn't sending
the I-M-S header, even to http.d.n. It does, however, correctly send it for
files such as Release.gpg, even to the redirected host.
APT guys: perhaps someone of you have an idea as to what is happening?
Running apt-get update twice in a row, using http.d.n, and stable, will
result in the Packages file being downloaded both times. Even if unchangeed.
