Not everyone has high-bandwidth plans. I'll probably have to move to a
low-bandwidth plan shortly and downloading 12 MB or so daily is going to
hurt.

Title:
apt-get update size is too big
Status in Launchpad itself:
Invalid
Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I ran a clean install to Ubuntu 12.04 and so far everything has been
working well. I especially commend the Ubuntu team for this release.
I only noticed that the size of repository update is now about ~13MB.
Normally, it is about this size for the first time you run apt-get
update after a clean install and then ~ 23kb - 1300kb for subsequent
updates. However now it looks like it gets 13MB and bigger every now
and then.
Using us.archive.ubuntu.com archive, I see that the Universe Package
files are being recreated a couple of times an hour, but contain the
same content. The file modification date and expiration date, and in
particular, the etag, are changing each time causing apt-get update to
reload the Package file again even though it hasn't changed.
Launchpad shouldn't recreating the Package files when no changes have
been made to the contained packages.
