Hello, recently Potato's package list on us/main has gotten so big (822kb)
that I often cannot download the whole thing on my slow modem before it
times out, but I like to keep it updated daily. Is there any way that an
incremental packagelist could be done, for example having the current
package list and diffs for the past 10 days? I'm sick of having to
repeatedly attempt to download an 822k package file just so I can download
a 10k application...
Many thanks.

It is not a bug that APT does not support something that doesn't exist :P
There is no means in debian to download or even create inter package
diffs!
There is no means in debian to download inter-package file diffs!
