I'm seeing the bug in Ubuntu 12.04 both with apt-get and on the repo end
with apt-ftparchive:
me@server:/$ sudo apt-ftparchive --contents=false generate

Strangely, the same apt-ftparchive command on my old repo server running
Ubuntu 8.04 has no error with the same 3.7 GB MATLAB package:

I've checked the source from Yaroslav Leonov's and Michael Vogt's
patches above, and they're incorporated into 12.04's
apt-0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.15 source.
