I am not sure it needs to be moved. But, what would be totally cool is
if the installer scanned the local network on install and configured
apt-cacher in sources.list instead of the normal repos by default when
if finds a server.  That would be a terrific usability upgrade.

But, since only one server needs it, is there an advantage to moving it
from Universe?  It not like its in Multiverse which is turned off by
default.  If I remember correctly, isn't Universe turned on by default
on initial install?
