allow fetcher setup without directory creation
apt-get download and changelog as well as apt-helper reuse the acquire system for their own proposes without requiring the directories the fetcher wants to create, which is a problem if you run them as non-root and the directories do not exist as it greets you with: E: Archives directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing. - Acquire (13: Permission denied) Closes: 762898
