We encountered a problem where we weren't able to use
buster-backports, and traced this down toupdate_deb_packagesonly consideringPackage.gzfiles. For buster-backports, these files are only available asPackage.xz.See: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Format
It seems to me like it would be better to switch to download Package files in the xz format. Alternatively, a fallback-mechanism could be implemented.
