Description of the change
This branch introduces support for storing gzip-compressed package indexes locally. On my system, this reduces /var/lib/apt/lists/ from 70 MB to 19 MB without introducing noticeable additional latency (mostly because my hard disk is very slow, thus the additional CPU overhead of uncompressing the indexes for building the cache is more than offset by the saved I/O). But even on netbooks or thin clients with fast SSD and slow processor this is an interesting option if the install is very space constrained.
I did not enable this option by default. To use it, one needs to create a file like
$ cat /etc/apt/

Acquire:
The second is necessary since the patch deliberately avoids re-compressing downloaded indexes, it just keeps an already gzip compressed index if it gets one.
I also added some test cases for this in test/test-
Note that although this introduces a new protected member in FileFD, this does _not_ change the ABI of libapt, since FileFD is an internal class only and not exported in libapt-pkg-dev. I ran the abi checker and it gave me a clean bill.
Oh, forgot: I based this branch off http:// bzr.debian. org/apt/ debian- sid/, so lp:apt might not actually be the correct target here. My intention for this is to land in the upstream (Debian) trunk.
FYI, I backported the changes to lucid, and are now running with this version on my desktop (with compressed indexes).
