Package: apt Version: 0.8.15.5 Severity: wishlist Various backup utilities can automatically exclude cache directories if tagged via the "Cache Directory Tagging" standard (http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/). Doing so requires creating a file CACHEDIR.TAG in the cache directory (/var/cache/apt), containing the contents "Signature: 8a477f597d28d172789f06886806bc55". Please consider implementing this standard by creating this file, so that backup software can automatically exclude apt's caches.
