Actually, a sync WILL get you a working package. DebTorrent will
currently work without the extra infrastructure that Par describes, it
will just be less efficient at peer-to-peer sharing than if that extra
information was available. Here's a link to the relevant question in the
FAQ:

http://debtorrent.alioth.debian.org/FAQ.html#index3h4

I installed DebTorrent on my ubuntu gutsy machine and it works fine for
downloading packages. I'm hoping to get it into Ubuntu now so that
people can try it out and then eventually someone can be convinced to
add the infrastructure needed to support the more efficient sharing.
