Idea #6176: Apt-cacher needs to delete corrupted files

I love apt-cacher since it saves me and Ubuntu multiple gigs of bandwidth a month but recently I came across a problem with it. It's not a bug cause apt-cacher is working fine but it would be nice to include this feature. I had some updates that weren't installing because of a hash mismatch so I let a week go by and it of course wasn't fixing itself because the bad file was on my server not the mirror. I had to manually login to the server and delete those packages from the apt-cacher folder. This happened with about 14 packages within 2 weeks for some reason. If Apt-cacher could automatically purge those after a client fails to successfully update that would be convenient.
