Sorry, I should have been more verbose. You need to install the package "bazaar".
Then run:
$ baz register-archive http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/arch/ubuntu
$ baz get <email address hidden>/apt--http-authentication--0
apt--http-authentication
$ cd apt--http-authentication
$ debian/rules arch-build
and then you find the deb packages in debian/arch-build

I can't give you a timeframe. It depends on what Matt thinks about the code.
Testing is welcome.
