And the one after the upgrade:

With a whole bunch of xenial entries appended after that.

Turns out this is an issue with apt-clone not passing the right parameters to its python library.

This bug was fixed in the package apt-clone - 0.4.1ubuntu1

---------------
apt-clone (0.4.1ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * apt-clone: pass named parameters on to the AptClone library, to make
    sure we pass on the new distro name properly for upgrades from CD.
