Thanks for the clarification. The message only showed up on a remote 
upgrade, so I assumed that it required a local upgrade. Looking more 
carefully at the message I see it says

Format <RepositoryFormatKnit1> for
nosmart+http://bzr.debian.org/apt/apt/debian-sid/.bzr/ is deprecated -

ie. the remote system. So, I guess that is clear enough. Apologies for the 
noise. I filed this one in kind of a hurry. I suppose I was assuming the 
wire protocol was stable. Does upgrading locally produce this kind of 
message about the remote repos?
