Well, when apt-cacher started out, it needed an apache installation to work 
and I did not see that as a good replacement for apt-proxy, and it lacked 
many of apt-proxy's features. It looks like it has grown many of these 
features now so maybe it might be mature enough to retire apt-proxy. It isn't 
really possible to merge the existing code since the implementations are so 
different.
