Package: apt-cacher Version: 1.7.12 Severity: normal apt-cacher allow using the new "by-hash" download locations for apt. These exist to avoid hashsum mismatches on mirrors and it would be nice if apt-cacher would also allow apt to make use of them.
They are documented at [1] and already enabled in the main archive for experimental[2]. apt falls back to the old method, so apt continues to work with apt-cacher even when "by-hash" is enabled.
