Feature Request: Would be nice to have a way to refresh .deb files
Metadata
Current evaluation
Request for incremental .deb refreshes to avoid redownloading about 300 MB for unity8; one design comment exists, but the issue has no labels, assignee, or concrete implementation plan.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The body gives a concrete outcome—download only a changed 31 kB package instead of roughly 300 MB—and didrocks notes that all debs are in one part, making cache invalidation and scope plausible to investigate. However, the issue is unlabeled and unassigned; the current tree has no unity8 implementation, and current documentation calls core18 deprecated, so maintainers must revalidate the use case before prioritizing it.

Issue body
At the moment the unity8-snap is around 300MB of .deb files.
I would like a way to "refresh" them without having to clean and download them all again.
I mean, let's say that only libraw1394-11 was updated in the repos, it would be much nicer having to download 31kB instead of 300 MB.
I hope this is doable :)
