Another case found on my Sid-EeePC which didn't show any symptoms
directly after upgrading apt to 1.0.9.8 (via aptitude), running
"apt-get update" and starting aptitude again, but shortly afterwards.

This time it's a package from stable and not from experimental:

--\ New Packages (1)
  --\ admin - Administrative utilities (install software, manage users, etc) (1)
    --\ Debian (1)
      --\ stable (1)
	--\ main - The main Debian archive (1)
	  --\ Priority optional (1)
p           u-boot  0  502 kB   <none>  2012.04.01-2

.oO( WTF? )
