(c)debootstrap and caching

[Goswin von Brederlow <brederlo@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>]

Hi,

I just got asked to implement caching of downloaded debs in debix for
debootstrap runs. But I feel its not realy debix work to do the
caching.

Any good reasons why (c)debootstrap should not use /var/cache/apt/ to
look for already downloaded debs and keep a copy of any deb it
downlods there too?

(I know it already checks rather loosely on the target/var/cache/apt).
