Do you think people would mind if ia32-apt-get puts its downloads in
/var/cache/apt/archives? The debs are unaltered so they are perfectly
useable by the normal apt/aptitude, at least those of the native
architecture.
I will have to work out the locking so apt-get and ia32-apt-get can't
run in parallel but I think sharing the cache might be best all
around.
