Yes... you are right.
I've never notice this problem.
I think that the error is in the BuildService, in particulare in the way
the Packages files is created (I suppose using dpkg-scanpackages
command)... and the place where it is stored.

I think that the developers of BuildService should be compliant to the
"Automatic Repository" defined in the following official documentation
for Debian-like distribution:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto.en.html

There are, of course, various way to arrange directory, but for me a
good solution can be:
 - root repository (
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/midgardproject:/midgard19-dev/Debian_Etch/
)
 |--main
       |-- binary-i386
       |-- binary-amd64
       |-- source
And the Packages files must be created inside each sub-directory of main
(binary-i386, binary-amd64, source) has the official documentaion of
Debian require for apt-repositories.

Ciao,
Gianluca
