Package: apt
Version: 0.5.9
Severity: wishlist

Probably the best way to fix tasksel's bug #114721 (which our users
stumble over again and again), as well as to remove a common FAQ would
be for apt to get a post-update hook. Then dpkg or something else could
drop a file into apt.conf.d to apt-cache dumpavail > /var/lib/dpkg/available

I expect we might find other uses for such a hook as well. I'd never
have expected DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs to be used by something like
apt-listchanges when I helped add that hook to apt. Of course the dpkg
available file may eventually go away, if dpkg 2.0 is ever finished, but
we will have it for sarge, and this hook could be implemented before
sarge is released.

I could try to implement this, but my C++ is atrocious, better someone
else does it.
