Comment 11 for bug 945826

The Releases file shows:

So the Releases file looks correct, it's showing the checksums for both the uncompressed Packages file that's not included, and the Packages.gz. This is consistent with how it's done in the Ubuntu archive, where we also don't ship uncompressed Packages to the mirrors but include them in the Releases. So looks like this is an apt bug only.
