One thing I didn't like is that approx appears to require fiddling
with sources.list. apt-cacher-ng simply requires setting a proxy
value, in its own file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. E.g.:
root@hawk:/etc/apt/apt.conf.d# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://aptcacher.localdomain:3142";;
root@hawk:/etc/apt/apt.conf.d#
Or, even simpler, install auto-apt-proxy on your clients and let them
find your proxy. The package description says it works for approx. And
that worked!

Does anybody read signatures any more?

Thanks for checking, Charles. My schedule does not allow me to work
on it until tomorrow evening. However, can auto-apt-proxy be
specified during mirror selection with a netinstall? That is my
primary need and use for approx.
A friend gave me his old Windows XP machine. I installed on it Debian
12 with XFCE desktop. I intend to use it to replace an old machine on
which is installed Debian 9, running a mail server (getmail) and an
approx server.
