apt-proxy used to have an option of using more than one backend
for a repository; so my debian alias had more than one backend, since
ftp.us.debian.org is sometimes flakey for me. I don't see that option
for approx; which is not a big deal, though.
Also, I guess I'll have to bind mount the old apt-proxt
repository over /var/cache/approx.
