Right, I must have dropped that option when I added the check against
the Release file to see if something needs updateing.


I have multiple options now how this should behave:

1. don't update Release, don't update Packages, fail if inconsistent
2. don't update Release, update missing Packages
3. update Release, don't update Packages (that is probably useless)
4. update Release and missing Packages (current way)

I think I will introduce a new option "--skiprelease" and reintroduce
"--skippackages" allowing for all 4 cases.
