Bug#52882: apt wish: incremental patches to package lists on servers

[Magenta Hari Nezumi <magenta@shell.twu.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.15

Hello, recently Potato's package list on us/main has gotten so big (822kb) 
that I often cannot download the whole thing on my slow modem before it
times out, but I like to keep it updated daily.  Is there any way that an
incremental packagelist could be done, for example having the current
package list and diffs for the past 10 days?  I'm sick of having to
repeatedly attempt to download an 822k package file just so I can download
a 10k application... 

Many thanks.
