Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.5
Severity: minor

The dpkg-scanpackages manpage notes:

       Note:  If  you  want to access the generated Packages file with apt you
       will probably need to compress the  file  with  gzip(1)  (generating  a
       Packages.gz  file).  apt  ignores uncompressed Packages files except on
       local access (i.e.  file:// sources).

However APT now seems to require a Packages.bz2 file. Thanks, Jack
