Can we make it a wishlist instead of closing?
Althrough the current behaviour is intended, it would be very useful if
it behaved like I describe below, at least optionally:

It should always fetch both Release and Release.gpg, even if only
Release is requested, but not refetch them from upstream if they are not
older than "interval". But if one of them is refetched for for some
reason, then approx should refetch the other one too. This way we would
always have matching Release and Release.gpg, but still allow to keep
old Packages file, if the user doesn't need the freshest one, and set's
"interval" to something big.
