Yeah, a 404 on any sources.list entry will cause apt-get update to return 100.

A key issue will still return 0.

It's common to have apt-get fail on an initial chef run if someone is
modifying sources.list because you have to make sure it happens in the
right order; get everything into the sources.list, get the keys,
trigger an immediate apt-get update execute.
