Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
It'd be good if the Package file diffs under
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages.diff/
extended back by perhaps a few weeks.
Currently they seem to be as little as 3 days worth, so if you're not
online and updating that often you don't get the benefit of diffs over
full download.
I hope I'm right that this is a matter of what's available for download.
I adjusted the apt PDiffs::FileLimit and PDiffs::SizeLimit up to
hopefully use as much as possible.
I suppose the amount of diffs retained could be decided dynamically.
When the sizes add up to more than a full package file download then
chop off the oldest since anyone that far back would certainly be better
with the full download.
