Wouldn't this be better solved via the proxies then, e.g. mimicking the
squid-deb-proxy like avahi announcements through whatever means and
discovering them via a ProxyAutoDetect string?
I'm not sure that apt itself should implement such a discovery
mechanism.

Title:
apt should be able to use an opportunistic cache/proxy
Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hi,
apt-get can use a HTTP proxy if on is configured in its settings, but
then it fails if the proxy is unavailable.
Would be nice (and save ubuntu's server resources) if apt-get could
use a proxy/cache opportunisticly, i.e. use it if available and access
the repositories directly otherwise.
regards
