It will be interesting to follow its progress. apt-cacher-ng (presumably
"next generation") "is more than simple rewrite of Apt-Cacher. It was
redesigned from scratch and is written in C++ with main focus on
maximizing throughput with low requirements on system resources."

It is going to be in hardy, in universe. Chnagelog is here:
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/a/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher-ng_0.1.1-1/changelog

I will be going forward with proposing apt-cacher for main in Hardy as
its a LTS release. I'll be writing up the MIR this week.

Cheers,

Fabian
