Hi, I've reproduced this problem locally; this happens if the definition for "http" is missing from /etc/services.
Is it reasonable to assume that configuration files of Priority: important packages are in a sane state during build time? If so, then I'd suggest lowering the severity and possibly marking this bug wontfix.
