Package: apt-cacher
Version: 1.6.3
Currently apt-cacher doesn't have option for selecting outgoing
interface for accessing mirrors. This option is useful in case of
multi-interface machines with complex routing policies where default
route is not always correct one
This adds new option to config file and passes it to libcurl
