Package: apt Version: 0.5.3 Severity: wishlist It seems that if the files in /var/lib/apt/lists are deleted, they will be automatically downloaded again on the next apt-get update. So I think this qualifies as cached data, the sort of data that one wouldn't normally bother to backup. Would you consider moving this directory to /var/cache/apt? I (and I expect many others) exclude /var/cache from backups by default.
