Summary0005561: [REPOS] Repositories should use "Acquire-by-hash" to provide atomic updates
Description

When the release file contains "Acquire-By-Hash: yes", APT now tries to download the indices from an alternate path based on the checksums of each file, thus allowing multiple version of the metadata to co-exist and thus making atomic updates of repositories a reality.

Unfortunately, reprepro (that we use to manage our repositories) does not support that feature currently:
