Well, the file you are pointing to is not supposed to contain an archive
field, and I cannot imagine unattendend-upgrades to require such. The
release files that are supposed to contain such field are the one that
correspond to your actual 'deb http://neuro.debian ....' lines in
sources.list.d. For example:

  http://neuro.debian.net/debian/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Release

All of those do contain an archive field.

See 

  http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch02.en.html#_top_level_release_file_and_authenticity

for documentation on the difference between the "top-level" and the
"archive-level" release files.

Maybe there is another issue the causes the problem?
