First of all sorry for the extremely late reply on this, for some reason
 I utterly failed to see the bug.

  It looks like apt-get can now manage this itself.

  I tested this by running 'apt-get source libc6', then cancelled the
 download with Ctrl+C after 10%.  Running the command again it started
 the download immediately at 11%.

  So it looks like I don't need to do anything special.

  Yes this has been done now, and will be fixed in an upload in the
 next few minutes.
