I don't think it's nearly as bad as it was, but it's still not _good_.
Last instance I can recall was trying to install fglrx-driver on unstable
(which requires downgrading X to the version in testing); it would frequently
give me 2-3 completely bogus results before giving me one that would actually
install the fglrx-driver package.

That's on a machine where I haven't modified request-strictness from the
defaults at all, though, so perhaps it doesn't count?
