Are you _*SURE*_ this is generated by apt-ftparchive and not some
handwritten Release file?
There is some code indirection involved here, but the format should be:
%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S
That is basically the same as yours, but with %a/%b instead of
%A/%B – BUT on top of this a timezone is added to the string
(either +0000 or UTC, depending on settings).

And indeed if I run apt-ftparchive:
$ mkdir /tmp/aptftptest
$ cd /tmp/aptftptest
$ apt-ftparchive release .
