Loading updates from different remote hosts in parallel is useful, but
it looks like there needs to be a way to switch it off.

In `man apt.conf` I see:

       Queue-Mode
           Queuing mode; Queue-Mode can be one of host or access which
           determines how APT parallelizes outgoing connections.  host means
           that one connection per target host will be opened, access means
           that one connection per URI type will be opened.

Seems to me that perhaps another mode is warranted where the connections
are serialised.  Alternatively, perhaps a limit on the number of
parallel connections in total.
