My idea was to use
apt-get -qq --print-uris --reinstall install $PACKAGES
to get the information, but this didn't work because it will not list
information for the files that are already present in the repository.
:-(
How long will it take for apt-get download to be widely available?
Can we check for it and use it conditionally?
