Yes that's true IIRC. And update explicitly rebuilds the cache. That's
not a huge issue, unless you are sitting around running apt-get update
in loops.

It is not possible to rebuild only changed parts, except for
/var/lib/dpkg/status changes. For making that work, a second cache is
generated; we cannot do the same for every source list.

Title:
  Package lists are fully readed if there are no changes

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 dev with apt 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu3. Since apt was
  updated from 0.8.16~exp5 to 0.8.16~exp12 the package lists are fully
  readed ("Reading package lists... Done") on every "apt-get update".
  This is no problem if there are new package lists available. But apt
  is doing now such a full reading even if the lists have not changed.
