If it looks like a bug and quacks like a bug, the text should perhaps be

Thanks for your bugreport.

We are rather late in the release cycle and a string change like this will break
all the 30 translations of apt. So this is hoary+1 material.

I just checked the ubuntu apt source and the patch in this bug report isn't there yet. Please confirm if the issue has been fixed. If its not fixed, please forward the bug and the patch to Debian for reviewe.
