Hi Daniel,
  I can't get this to trigger on my 12.04 system, could you include a copy of 
your /etc/apt/apt.conf.d and /etc/apt/preferences.d?
Another suggestion you could try would be to install the ddebs and then run 
apt-cache search under gdb and ctrl-c it somewhere in the middle, hope you hit 
the slow patch and then try and get a backtrace to see how it got there.

Dave
