I have rewritten the apt rule as a script and implemented a small
/etc/apt/sources.list parser. This, as a convenience, eliminated the
need for separate stable and unstable rules, and also caters correctly
for the arch.

Here is a preliminary version:
#!/bin/bash

SOURCESLIST="/etc/apt/sources.list"
LISTSDIR="/var/lib/apt/lists"
ARCH="$(dpkg --print-architecture)"

cat $SOURCESLIST | while read deb uri dist comp; do
  PROTOCOL="$(echo $uri | sed 's|\([^:]\+\).*|\1|')"
  if [ "$PROTOCOL" = "http" ] || [ "$PROTOCOL" = "ftp" ]; then
    HOST="$(echo $uri | sed 's|.*//\([^/[:space:]]\+\).*|\1|')"
    HOSTPATH="$(echo $uri | sed 's|.*//[^/[:space:]]\+/\?||;s|/|_|g;s|^\(.\+\)$|_\1|')"
    dist="${dist//\//_}"
    if [ -n "$DEBUG" ]; then
      echo "uri $uri"
      echo "HOST $HOST"
      echo "HOSTPATH $HOSTPATH"
    fi
    if [ "$deb" = "deb" ]; then
      for c in $comp; do
        echo "$LISTSDIR/${HOST}${HOSTPATH}_dists_${dist}_${c}_binary-${ARCH}_Packages(\.IndexDiff)?$ VarFile"
        echo "$LISTSDIR/${HOST}${HOSTPATH}_dists_${dist}_Release(\.gpg)?$ VarFile"
      done
    elif [ "$deb" = "deb-src" ]; then
      :
    fi
  else
    : # other protocols are not supported. If you feel like they should
    : # please give a good reason and probably a patch.
  fi
  echo -e "\n\n"
done

echo "${LISTSDIR}(/partial)?$ VarDir"
echo "${LISTSDIR}/lock$ VarFile"

If you want to, give it a try.

Greetings
Marc
