Package: apt-cacher
Version: 1.5.3
Severity: important

This single, flat cache directory causes problems if you
try to use apt-cacher for Ubuntu as well as Debian.  For
example, both Debian Etch and Ubuntu Gutsy ship a package
called "xfonts-knickers".  Both of them call the file
xfonts-knickers_0.0.1-3.1_all.deb, but the files are NOT
the same; etch's version is 9120 bytes and Ubuntu's is
9156 bytes.  Downloading one distro's file overwrites the
others and causes problems.

Ideally, apt-cacher will use different subdirectories for
different releases.  I realize this is tricky, if not impossible,
but it would be nice.
