[Bug 1173661] [NEW] needs-packaging apt-fast

[Lonnie Lee Best]

Public bug reported:

apt-fast downloads repositories (package sources) and packages in
parallel, which can greatly shorten the time it takes to update a
system.  In contrast, the default package manager (apt-get or aptitude)
downloads repositories and packages sequentially.

Currently, installing apt-fast requires custom installation:

I'd like to see this application in the main repositories and Ubuntu
Software Center.

Here's the code:
