[Apt-proxy-users] New distribution & Package.gz file

[Roland G. <rol...@me...>]

With the imminent release of woody, I've turned my apt sources.list file to
sid.

The first fetch of the main/Packages.gz file appears to have downloaded the
7M Packages file to generate the Packages.gz file.  I appreciate that
apt-proxy rsync's the Packages file to transfer only differences but could
apt-proxy detect that the Packages file is missing and download the
Packages.gz file (only 2M) and gunzip it to create the initial Packages
file?

Just trying to conserve bandwidth.

Cheers,
Roland.
