Thanks for the additional info.
IMO APT should either provide a hook to be called before fetching
archives or the maintainers can decide to not provide one and tell
users to create the directory structure for themselves.
Since the issue affects all python-apt users and APT maintainers
should make the call on the solution I'm reassigning the bug.
