Title:
  Allow archives to send a 4xx response to tell apt to try again later

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  As part of a broad plan to improve our ability to manage traffic to
  the archive servers, it would be useful if the archives could return a
  4xx response to indicate to apt that they were over capacity and it
  should try again later, where later could be defined on the client
  side as several hours, the next day for unattended-upgrades runs, etc.
