Ehm. You won't find debrep there because this message is caused by an internal job trying to find the original source URL of a certain index (i.e. volatile) file in order to update it, and if everything else fails, it attempts to interpret the cache directory itself as the remote host. However, the version in Stable prefers the cache-repo-as-hostname method before trying others, and there were some heuristics to guess whether this makes more sense than the URL stored in the file's metadata (the .head file in the same directory). This was changed in the last Sid/Testing version(s) but IIRC that change is not in wheezy-backports yet. So here is the plan: I suggest you wait a couple of days until I upload a wheezy-backports version and then you try to reproduce it.
