live-build is copying those files in a cache to avoid having to download
the files multiple times (when switching between various sources.list).
We could use "apt-get indextargets" to find out the files to copy. But
what's the right way to find where to copy the files back? Keep a trace
of the original path or is there an "apt-config" invocation that can give
us the path directly?
Also how are compressed files named? Do they get a new extension and they
are stored in the same directory?
Cheers,
