Cache should deduplicate identical packages between host and VM #9706

@DemiMarie

Description

How to file a helpful issue

The problem you're addressing (if any)

host-DIST and vm-DIST will 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.
