Today I've marked bug 1732946 as a duplicate of this one but I'm tempted to mark this as a duplicate of bug 42178 which was filed back in 2006 and has several duplicates. It seems that apt not respecting the locking of files in synaptic and v.v. was an intentional change, see the first few comments of that bug. So synaptic is working as designed.
