Bug#824563: [apt] dep11 backward compatilibity

[Fernando Toledo <ftoledo@docksud.com.ar>]

Package: apt
Version: 1.2.11
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

apt-get update in stretch has error using old repos that not expose
DEP11 files.

I use reprepro to generate my own repo to support a derivated debian
distro.

I believe that exists many private and public repos made with tools like
reprepro/aptly/mini-dinstall etc.. and have this problem too.

I known that reprepro must be fixed to support DEP11 (i was fill a bug
on reprepro bts) but until this "transition" stage, i think that apt-get
must have compatilibity and raise a warning instead of error.

Thanks!
