[Bug 926986] [NEW] package download stalls 12.04

[David Clayton]

Public bug reported:

I use Australian repositories and in default Ubuntu installs downloading
package lists stalls for minutes unless the following is done:

Create this file: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80http with the following
contents:

Acquire::http::No-Cache true;
Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth 0;

Once this is done then package downloads proceed immediately, this has
been an issue for a while now and is still this in the 12.04 Alpha daily
builds.
