Package: apt-proxy
Version: 1.9.28
Severity: wishlist

I (miss)use apt-proxy on my laptop to cache pkgs for the PC at home (only 
only a very slow internet connection), pbuilder cache etc.
Last time I forgot to increase
min_refresh_delay and the apt-get update on the client triggered
apt-proxy to update sarge main package list. Instead of waiting an
hour I aborted apt-get update and set min_refresh_delay = 10000h
disconnected form internet and restarted apt-proxy.  Now
apt-get update failed because the apt-proxy server failed to
deliver the sarge main Packages file :(

The delete-before-update-finished made the up to date pkgs in
the apt-proxy cache useless because the Packages file was gone.

Wish: apt-proxy should only delete the 'old' Packages file when
the download of the new version has finished.
