Alternative install method: iFile
Get iFile from Cydia.
Download the .deb file on your computer and upload it to iFile using the web browser interface.
In iFile tap on the deb file and select "install".
You can also do this all within the iPad if you use an application that can download several file types (the Native Safari sometimes is able to do this, but not always. I think it's a mirror thing..). I like using iCab to download new nightly builds, then iCab sends it to iFile and then install. All on the device itself. Just don't forget to delete the left over .deb files (they've not needed after installation)

apt-get install wget
wget "URL of nightly build"
dpkg -i "File Name of nightly build"
rm "File Name of nightly build"
(each without the quotes)
Actually I think you just need "APT 0.7 Strict" which AptBackup probably lists as a dependancy. However, I thought "APT 0.7 Strict" was a dependency of Cydia itself... I could be wrong, though.
