Bug#372712: apt: Shouldn't download pdiffs in all cases



Hello,

I don't keep my Debian testing uptodate and it's a fact than the pdiff 
method is really longer. After few days (a week ?) make a day-by-day 
summary is more expansive than get directly the new Packages file ; 
after a month it's catastrophic.

>> It is possible to disable the pdiff files with:
>> apt-get update -o Acquire::PDiffs=false
>
> I have disabled Apt's pdiff "feature" for now.

Can I ask you if you do this on the command line each time (or with an 
alias) or we can archive this option in a /etc/apt/* file ?

Regards,
Aurélien.

PS : I see many informations ( System Information, Versions of packages 
apt depends on, Versions of packages apt recommends, etc) on many 
Debian bugreports. Does they made manually or by a script ?
