A workaround that I've just implemented and works fairly well, despite being a 
little clunky is as follows:

in /etc/hosts set an alias for each of the repositories you reference in 
sources.list such that they all resolve to the debtorrent-client demon

e.g.

127.0.0.1    localhost ftp.uk.debian.org.debtorrent 
www.debian-multimedia.org.debtorrent [etc.]

then modify /etc/apt/sources accordingly

e.g.
deb debtorrent://localhost/ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
becomes
deb debtorrent://ftp.uk.debian.org.debtorrent/ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny 
main

and then apt-cache policy will report the hostname ftp.uk.debian.org.debtorrent 
rather than localhost


Cheers & God bless
