Hmm, I think your lens will fail to parse approx keywords that begin with '$'. 
keywords without '$' prefix are still accepted but are deprecated.

See this extract from approx changelog:

approx (2.9.0) unstable; urgency=low

  Configuration parameters in /etc/approx/approx.conf should now begin
  with '$' to distinguish them from repository names. The old style is
  still accepted with a warning message.

<shameless plug>
You can use config-edit-approx from Config::Model::Approx [1] to migrate from 
old style parameters to new style in one command:
 # config-edit-approx -ui none -save
See [2] for more details
</shameless plug>

Hope this helps
