How to file a helpful issue
The problem you're addressing (if any)
host-DISTandvm-DISTwill have many identical packages. Downloading and storing them multiple times is wasteful. Even though it is not possible to share the chroots (#9705 (comment)), the actual packages can be shared, as they are immutable.The solution you'd like
Download and store the identical packages only once.
The value to a user, and who that user might be
All contributors who build packages for both host and guest will benefit from fewer redundant downloads.
