With current apt-cacher from testing, on {apche,perl,libc6}/testing, I can't
confirm this. apt-cacher works very reliable for me.
The only thinkg I'd like is to have apt-cacher appear as 'native' Debian
repository instead of needing to specify the full URL of the mirror
(reason: so I can switch the mirror to be used from the apt-cacher config
without the need to modify all the sources.lists.)

Hasn't bothered me so far.
But your approach of catching apache's 404 certainly sounds interesting, and
would be extremely lightweight in the case of cache hits. Just be sure to
relay 'real' 404s properly.
