As above, if you specify -u (--update), apt-cross will force an update
of the cache. The apt.conf-$suite files were not expected to be edited.

If it is the proxy and if the apt.conf-$suite files need to handle
proxies, this is going to affect others so I want to fix it.

OK, I'll look into *not* replacing the apt.conf-$suite files if they
already exist or possibly an optional setting to update the cache
without replacing the content of these files.
