I've run into similar problems with running apt-cacher-ng on a wheezy
machine that's serving jessie and stretch ones. Backports and Sloppy
Backports have come to the rescue with the exception of handling the
bug reports, so I run as far as   apt-get -d upgrade   with the proxy,
but go direct for the actual installation (by which time the .deb file
is in the local /var/cache/apt/archives/).

Cheers,
David.
