Thank you for the open and informative reply.

As a techie, I'd like to know more about how the content distribution
network happened to cache HTML error pages for many of the packages on
repository.maemo.org.  Did the error pages come with long cache
expiration headers by mistake, or does the CDN tend to assume URLs
ending in .deb never change?
