Even if the package files are current, they can't be imported properly
if no index files are cached. So these could end up being summarily
deleted, and if they were the only copy the user had... that would be
a problem!

It works fine with one client downloading. Checksums are retrieved and
compared successfully for the long-named package files.

With two or more clients, however, I run into what appears to be an
unrelated bug: a deadlock at line 49 in apt-cacher-lib-cs.pl. strace(1)
shows a futex() call hanging, and the affected apt-cacher2 process only
responds to SIGKILL.

I can reproduce this with stock 1.6.8. Could you try this? I set up two
Ubuntu machines (one 32-bit, one 64-bit) to download a large set of
packages, already in the apt-cacher cache. Both download runs start out
fine, but after ten or twenty or so packages, each one hangs at [Waiting
for headers]. What's worse, if you kill and restart the client (apt-
get), the download hangs straightaway---it's the server that's borked.
