Now that apt 0.6.38 is in unstable I hit this bug again. What I found is that manually adding a "Suite: experimental" line to the Release file fixes the bug: With original Release file: $ apt-cache policy [...] 1 http://ftp.fi.debian.org project/experimental/main/binary-i386/ Packages release o=Debian,l=Debian,c=main origin ftp.fi.debian.org [...] After adding "Suite: experimental" to /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fi.debian.org_debian_project_experimental_main_binary-i386_Release, removing /var/cache/apt/*.bin and running "apt-get update": $ apt-cache policy [...] 101 http://ftp.fi.debian.org project/experimental/main/binary-i386/ Packages release o=Debian,a=experimental,l=Debian,c=main origin ftp.fi.debian.org [...] Note that simply running "apt-get update" without removing the package caches first is _not_ enough. So at least a workaround for this bug would be to add "Suite: experimental" to the Release files under debian/project/experimental.
