I also have the impression that this behavior is a bit random.
To clarify, my system has always tracked testing (with a bit of
unstable). After sarge released I changed my sources.list by deleting
non-us and by changing the security entries to point to sarge. It was
this last move, effectively the addition of new entries, that caused
the problem.
I don't think it was a sarge upgrade issue. It was an issue whenever
something new gets added to the sources.list. I've seen the same kind
of behavior when adding other entries to sources.list.

The best fix is a free fix! Glad to hear it.
I suppose it may be awhile before stuff starts flowing in testing
again.
