Do you think it's important > to keep copies of source files around in the cache? Uhm, yes, definitely (and I'm confident other developers would agree). Two reasons: first, when one installs a Debian archive cacher, one would expect that everything the mirror can offer can be cached. And second, very importantly IMHO, I'd say most Debian Developers need a caching solution or another, for tools like pbuilder, sbuild, or just chroots; and in their daily work, they are likely to download the same source package several times (at least I know I do), and would need them to be cached, yes. So, what do you think? Do you think it'd be possible to make approx support this?
