That's correct. The uncompressed versions of the files have not been publicly available for years, so the fix is indeed to use the .gz, .bz2, or .xz version - only .gz being available for all releases. Moreover, if a request for a Packages file, uncompressed, from the redirector does not always return 404 it is a bug that I'd like to know about. I.e. it has code that explicitly 404s Packages files, though Sources aren't.
