Eduard, thank you for the quick response.

0.3.3 (or a later version) should go into jaunty, no doubt.  For the
stable releases hardy and intrepid, we only have two options and
updating to 0.3.3 is not one of them.

a) find a minimal patch to fix the problem
b) ask everybody to install 3rd-party binaries for apt-cacher-ng (such as the 
ones I provide in my PPA)

If at all possible, I'd like to avoid b).  You've already pointed out
the changelog possibly dealing with this exact problem.  If we now can
come up with a minimal patch for this fix and this fix only, we have a
chance to get an SRU exception and continue to support users inside the
ubuntu framework (SRU: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates)

If you can help me find the code that needs to be changed, I'm willing
to do the rest.
