This is fixed in feisty.
The extended_states file is just like the lists files readable by
default for others (0644) now regardless of the umask.
If someone has concerns about this, he can always chmod 0700
/var/lib/apt (but this will break tools like update-manager).
Cheers,
Michael
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
