I have been noticing this too over the last 2-3 weeks. It started about the time I started using the "preferences" file in apt-get to allow me to grab and update some stuff from "unstable" on my "testing" install here (KDE, Mozilla). Usually, apt-get update will complete just fine without any errors, BUT when I do the apt-get upgrade, I get these errors. They are always on the "unstable" tree...never on "testing", as best I recall. If I specify a particular upgrade from "unstable" then it finds the file and works. I have attributed it to something wrong in the way apt-get handles the "preferences" code, but I dunno for sure. It could be something on the other end, like the site being transiently down for file updates, etc. About half the time, it works OK for me. I am using the http.us.debian.org site as well...
