You don't need this Post-Invoke hack as the python script adds the missing header.

One thing "missing". Secure the channels with @philicious "secureApt.sh" script. Find it at my fork  https://github.com/rpasche/spacewalk-scripts or "origin" https://github.com/philicious/spacewalk-scripts. 
Also have a look at PR #636 and #637 of the SW GitHub repo.

You can then also try to import errata information for Ubuntu and Debian.
