I see in the aptitude package list three packages that are proxy servers specifically designed to proxy the package files from a Debian repository/mirror. There may be more than three. I didn't work very hard at searching. The three that I found are, apt-proxy, apt-cacher, and approx.
They all have very similar descriptions. All the descriptions say that their particular package is easy to set up and easy to use. Some say they are easier than one of the other. Has anyone done comparisons of these against each other? What are the points on which they actually differ? Do the differences matter? And, are there any other proxy servers for packages that I haven't found, and are worth while?
