Looks like a transient issue here, today's apt update just went through.
I cannot reproduce the issue any more.

For me, the problem came back. As I mentioned earlier, some upgrades went through smoothly for me. But a few days ago, upgrades started failing again. But I have absolutely no clue, what is causing this difference in behavior. My mirror in question (mirror.home.weltraumschlangen.de) is also an apt-cacher-ng with split DNS. If you're in the correct network segment, the DNS returns a reachable IP address, otherwise it just returns NXDOMAIN.
