[Slapt-get-user] Weird problem with "extra" being ignored

I manage a small Slackware package repository whose aim is solely to be 
accssible through slapt-get.

I'm having a problem with slapt-get (tried only 0.9.9f, some earlier 
version worked correctly, 0.9.9c, IIRC) ignoring part of the paths for 
some unknown reason.

Example:

/etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc contains:

SOURCE=http://slackware.rm-f.net/slackware-10.0/

http://slackware.rm-f.net/slackware-10.0/PACKAGES.TXT

lists `bison' (latest version) as:
PACKAGE NAME:  bison-1.875-i386-1.tgz
PACKAGE LOCATION:  ./extra/bison-1.875
PACKAGE SIZE (compressed):  289 K
PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed):  750 K
PACKAGE REQUIRED:
PACKAGE CONFLICTS:
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
bison: bison (parser generator similar to yacc)
bison:
bison: GNU "Bison" is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a
bison: grammar description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a C
bison: program to parse that grammar.
bison:
bison: Bison is upward compatible with Yacc:  all properly-written Yacc
bison: grammars ought to work with Bison with no change.  Anyone familiar
bison: with Yacc should be able to use Bison with little trouble.

However, after doing a slapt-get --update, I see this in my 
/var/slapt-get/package_data file:
PACKAGE NAME:  bison-1.875-i386-1.tgz
PACKAGE MIRROR:  http://slackware.rm-f.net/slackware-10.0/
