A virtual package might be the best solution. Someone/committee still
has to
decide the order of package preference in the virtual package.
In the meantime, just "Suggest" a package that caches package
downloads.
apt-cacher works just fine for me. If there are other programs (e.g approx)
that work and have a more certain future, go with them. :)
