Thanks for working on this; after the end of the move of 2.18 to testing seems like the good moment to update packages for this new script. > I have changed the script to use Loïc's idea to only update the cache if > it is already present.

I think it would more solid and would permit additional use cases, but it would require more work and bends toward over-engineering, but I didn't receive any feedback on it. -- Loïc Minier
