Additional information: this is caused by a change in apt's configuration defaults, apparently in apt 1.3~rc3.
The Dir::Etc value has changed from "etc/apt/" to "etc/apt".

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=836427. I assume synaptic also does not use the correct syntax to get the value (i.e. Dir::Etc::Parts/d).
