[Bug 844196] [NEW] --ignore-missing doesn't work on apt-get download

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 dev with apt 0.8.16~exp5ubuntu6. If a package
can't be found on apt-get download the other packages aren't downloaded
too. --ignore-missing doesn't force to continue the download. For
example "apt-get download --ignore-missing htop ia33-libs" will stop on
ia33-libs because the package doesn't exist but htop will not be
downloaded then too.
