Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20.2
Severity: important

When /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing, APT refuses to do
its jobs. However, the FHS says that /var/cache contains convenience
data, which must not be required to exist. Thus, APT should really
just create the directory if it doesn't find one.
