Because there are flag files, declaring a download as beeing complete.
This file is used exactly the same way as with the version 0.8, it is
basicaly the same code.

The trick is simple: copy the old "private" directory as-is, or at least
the "*.complete" files from that to the new private directory.
apt-cacher should recognise the complete downloads when this is done.
Please close this bug report if the problem is solved (by sending an
