This is not easy to do because the cache is mmaped directly. If any
filesystems/memory problems comes up libapt will just crash. A possible fix
would be to write a checksum (md5/sha1) when the cache is closed and re-check
that checksum when the cache is opened again. The performance hit is probably
pretty bad though.
