A suggested solution is a caching http proxy but that would disable smart cache purging with apt-get autoclean. However, apt-get autoclean is somewhat limited, as apt-get update runs out of memory with too much data (e.g. stable+testing+unstable), but that bug will hopefully be fixed.
It appears the apt-get update out of memory bug has been fixed so I favour to NFS import /var/cache/apt/archives over setting up a http proxy. Hmm, I wonder if this creates a security hole by allowing someone on the LAN to introduce a trojan. Will packages which checksums do not match the package database be rejected/reloaded?
