Package: mini-dinstall
Version: 0.6.28
Severity: important
I've tried to switch a mini-dinstall managed repository from "flat" style to
"simple-subdir" style, to better separate architectures. After doing so (and
switching sources.list appropriately of course) I've APT (from unstable) fail
as follows:
W: Failed to fetch http://mancoosi.debian.net/debian/unstable/amd64/Release
Unable to find expected entry Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release
file?)
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.
I'm attaching the generated Release file, as the URL mentioned above will not
necessarily be working in the future, since I need to get back to "flat" style
to have a back working repository.
Thanks for maintaining mini-dinstall,
Cheers.

That was indeed the problem (and I feel a bit dumb now).
I'm henceforth closing this bug report.
Thanks!
