High request rate for Squeeze files that don't exist on cloudfront.debian.net



Hello Apt team,

I'm seeing millions of requests per month (on cloudfront.debian.net) against a set of URLs that are not present for Squeeze in the mirror network:
/debian/dists/squeeze/main/i18n/Translation-en.diff/Index
/debian/dists/squeeze/main/i18n/Translation-en.bz2
/debian/dists/squeeze-updates/main/i18n/Translation-en.bz2
/debian/dists/squeeze-lts/main/i18n/Translation-en.bz2
/debian/dists/squeeze-lts/contrib/i18n/Translation-en.bz2
/debian/dists/squeeze-lts/non-free/i18n/Translation-en.bz2
/debian/dists/squeeze/contrib/i18n/Translation-en.bz2
/debian/dists/squeeze/non-free/i18n/Translation-en.bz2


That second file was requested by clients some 2.19 million times in November, generating 1.53 GB of 404 responses. I am assuming there is never an English translation file in Squeeze (but the corresponding paths above do exist for wheezy/jessie/etc.

Is this anything that is of concern? Is it misconfigured clients, or new versions of apt against old releases in sources.list that expect the file(s) to be there, or did Squeeze's apt erroneously think there should be a Translation-en set of files?

Attached image shows a dump of the top objects in November for your interest.
