The solution is to tell the owners of the respective repositories to fix
their Release file(s). The Date (and Valid-Until) field MUST be in UTC
(aka GMT, Z, +0000). Earlier apt versions accepted other timezones
silently, but parsed it as UTC anyhow which could cause all kinds of
fun. Now a /warning/ is generated – a user can work with the repository
as before. As the content of that field is only of use for applications
and apt isn't a fullblown calendar-application we decided to not
implement all the craziness which is time.

All hints for creating repositories which apt (and other clients and
servers) can work with: https://wiki.debian.org/RepositoryFormat

So, as this isn't a bug: Closing as invalid.

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
