hostname and as last resort it assumes that "debrep" itself is the

This is the source of the confusion I think. I certainly didn't understand the error concerning
"debrep". Is there any situation where "debrep" would be the correct hostname to
use? I think not. If the internal cache-to-weblocation resolver cannot find a hostname then it should
stop with an error message explaining the problem. This would be a lot clearer than continuing and give
a strange error message about debrep" not being found.
To check if the assumption is true, please run
$ find /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/debrep/dists/ -name '*Packages.bz2.head' | xargs grep X-Orig | cut -f2 -d' '
and probably there are some invalid URLs (without hostname) in that
list.

xargs grep X-Orig | cut -f2 -d' '

explanation why it does not work for you. I just tried to reproduce:
let me try again

Okay... I changed the code for the next release to print the name from
the failed lookup immediately, this should make the problem
identification easier.
As explained above, I would prefer another solution.
thanks
