Package: apt Version: 1.6.1 Dear APT developers, I'd like to request for an APT feature, where one could add an option via either /etc/apt/apt.conf or command line argument specifing whether to use libeatmydata1 to silent the fsync call and friends. Eatmydata is used to speed up debootstrap speed for pbuilder. Despite the risk that data may go into an incosistent state on error, this library brings a literally insane speed up. I believe there will be users who are willing to take the risks and boost the APT speed. Do you agree to add this feature? If you don't have enough time to implement this, please let me know. I'd be happy to contribute a patch. Thanks.
