Thanks. I was thinking about you when I talked about those who
believe that #641769 is actually what's under #636292:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=641769#5
I pointed #636292 readers to #641769.
To me it looks like #636292 is the general case, and #641769 is just one
specific (and quite nasty) way to hit #636292.
IMHO, the root cause is that repository metadata is unversioned, and
therefore there is no good way to detect all cases of in-mirror and
across-mirrors inconsistencies, so that the front-ends like apt can try
to work around it.
#636292 is labelled as being about round-robin mirrors and problems APT
has with those, even though that is probably not the actual cause of the
reporter's problem.
But indeed, there would be room for a general bug "unreliable package
indices fetching protocol" :-S
