Thanks for the report. It seems the number of file types apt-cacher has
to allow is always growing!

Yes, that could be worthwhile. Good suggestion. For now though I'll just
patch it to accept Packages.bz2.

I have a feeling it might be better to stick with updating apt-cacher
itself though because otherwise adding support for another file type
would require lots of people to modify their config files, and if they
have locally modified versions they may just 'N' at the dpkg dialogue
and not realise they need to add a new filetype.

Cheers   :-)
