The wheezy-backports-sloppy version, 0.8.3-1~bpo7+1 (i386) worked well, but only until Sept 5/6; on this occasion, the disppearing file is debrep/dists/jessie/InRelease: Bringing index files up to date...

AFAICT InRelease is just a combination of Release with its Release.gpg included at the end of the file. Once again, I'm not sure if I should be carrying out some administrative step, or if it's just that apt-cacher-ng doesn't have the flexibility to cope with what are really quite minor changes to the Debian archive. After all, it's obviously quite capable of handling both InRelease and Release/Release.gpg but behaves like a starving man who refuses to eat because the food is now offered in a bowl instead of on a plate. Cheers, David.
