Public bug reported:

Server side by-hash index files are a new feature that was introduced in
Xenial. This causes Xenial clients (apt) to start new pattern requests
which apt-cacher-ng needs to be aware of. For Xenial's version of apt-
cacher-ng this was already done.

SRU Justification (for backports):

Impact: Another new feature of the archive in Xenial is server side by-
hash index files. To support this when running through an apt-cacher-ng
proxy requires another modification to be backported into older
releases.

Fix: TBD (pick the pattern modification and apply it to older releases).

Testcase: Running "apt-get update" on a Xenial host causes error
messages like below in the log of apt-cacher-ng on the proxy host.
