Comment 7 for bug 1976233

I see that failure on the apport test suite as well: https://github.com/canonical/apport/actions/runs/4479819348/

The ddeb repository got InRelease files (see bug #2002833) which improved the situation. I wrote another patch to further reduce the race condition: https://code.launchpad.net/~bdrung/ddeb-retriever/+git/main/+merge/437591
