Well I hope that will cover all the cases when a partial/ cannot be
created.
It will not attempt to create partial/ at all, so it addresses the
related problems.
And... it wouldn't hurt to have an extra APT variable anyway in addition
to your solution ... e.g., the user is downloading and writing the
archives to some "write-once" (think CD-ROM) media, but wants any
temporary work done elsewhere...
These variables come from APT.
Presumably there are some "acquire" methods (like cdrom, FTP, http, etc)
that might be better suited for those use-cases where the data is to be
obtained from RO media. This is specifically about local cache (which
can be disabled anyway).
Cheers.
