Notably, for the `debhelper` stack, it will depend on compat 14 (due to a dependency in the code).I don't think its a big downside.Anyhow, let me know if this approach might be interesting as an alternative to the original proposal (which does not seem to have gotten any traction).I'm in for the commands field.This seems to work, yes: $ cat /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_noble_universe{_binary-amd64_Packages,_cnf_Commands-amd64} | gzip | wc -c 19795265 $ cat /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_noble_universe_binary-amd64_Packages | gzip | wc -c 19437112 The file size doesn't change significantly; so the extra Commands file is redundant.
Ok, sounds like we agree this approach might be feasible.I am reassigning to `debhelper` for now then and will look into this after the freeze.
Best regards, Niels
