+ &apt-ftparchive; caches as much as possible of metadata in a cachedb. If packages
+ are recompiled and/or republished with the same version again, this will lead to problems
+ as the now outdated cached metadata like size and checksums will be used. With this option
+ enabled this will no longer happen as it will be checked if the file was changed.
+ Note that this option is set to "<literal>false</literal>" by default as it is not recommend
+ to upload multiply versions/builds of a package with the same versionnumber, so in theory
+ nobody will have these problems and therefore all these extra checks are useless.
