Title:
  Package lists are fully readed if there are no changes

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 dev with apt 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu3. Since apt was
  updated from 0.8.16~exp5 to 0.8.16~exp12 the package lists are fully
  readed ("Reading package lists... Done") on every "apt-get update".
  This is no problem if there are new package lists available. But apt
  is doing now such a full reading even if the lists have not changed.
