I did submit one, albeit untested. aj said that particular patch wouldn't 
work correctly. I'm still unconvinced that it doesn't re-download the stuff 
even when theres a deb sitting there. it takes exactly the same amount of
time, which really just doesn't make any sense; that would mean all the time
is consumed by doing the checksums, not doing the download. Nah.
