Some people may now wonder: Why does jigdo-lite use wgets “–force-directories” switch, which creates these problematic directory hierarchies?
Early versions of jigdo-lite did not use it, but then some folks requested that jigdo-lite always use the “–continue” switch to avoid half-downloaded .deb files being ignored and deleted when you interrupt and restart jigdo-lite. Unfortunately, it turned out that this led to problems: The Debian servers contained several identically named files (e.g. “root.bin”) in different directories, and if you interrupted jigdo-lite at roughly the right time during the download, the chances were high that the resumed download would append data to the wrong half-downloaded file, corrupting it and making the entire jigdo download fail.
