Isn't this exposed to users through, for example, "http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.{bz2,gz}";, which is downloaded by "apt-get update" to "/var/lib/apt/lists/" as "ftp.uk.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-amd64_Packages"? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
