[Bug 924283] [NEW] Package lists are fully readed if there are no changes

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

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.
