Apophis is the release name of the 1.x-series of Scratchbox, 1.0.7 is
an individual package number. For example, I think that in eg. Apophis
r4 release includes 1.0.7, 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 versions of the individual
packages.

Yes, but from the news section on scratchbox.org front page:

"
2007-06-08 New debian repository policy

The scratchbox.org debian repository has changed. You can find
different scratchbox releases available for you with "deb
http://scratchbox.org/debian/ release-name main", for example:
apophis-r4, 0.9.8. If you want the latest stable or the latest legacy
version, use stable/legacy instead of release name. The old repository
located at http://scratchbox.org/debian/ ./ is now obsolete. Update
your sources.lists.

...which also means that the install doc is out of date. Which,
looking at the dates is not a big surprise...
