Well, I didn't change anything concerning the compression apt should try
to download. I just installed a fresh squeeze system. So there is a bug
somewhere and it is very unlikely that I'm the only one to be hit by
this bug. So please reopen the bug, that we can try to find the real
problem.

Note that this system didn't have any network access since I installed
it from the netinst CD. I entered a valid "deb" entry to sources.list
and then ran apt-offline.
