I recently discovered apt-get in Debian testing has been "upgraded" to
use .pdiff files.

If, like my system, an apt-get update now takes 3 or 4 times as long to
complete, you can use the following to turn it off.

apt-get update -o Acquire::PDiffs=false

I haven't really measured the difference, but using the .pdiffs is
supposed to reduce bandwidth usage, which should also reduce overall
time, no?
