it does work fine. one thing though, when i use my local apt-cacher, i
get corrupted archives on Arch:all packages; the version in my cache
doesn't seem to match yours. on trying to fetch debconf, debootstrap
says:

W: http://myhost/apt-cacher/debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org/gcc4/pool/main/d/debconf/debconf_1.4.50_all.deb was corrupt
E: Couldn't download debconf

thanks, paul
