Bug#671854: devscripts: grep-excuses should cache excuses files

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.11.6
Severity: wishlist

The excuses files come to a total of over 1MB. It would be great for
grep-excuses to cache them in the same way that bts caches its bug
reports so that they are not repeatedly downloaded if multiple queries
are executed in separate commands.

Thanks!

Julian

We actually used to do that, but it was removed for #309802. We were
even honoring the Last-Modified header so it wouldn't be re-downloaded
unnecessarily.

I think the correct fix for that bug would've been to use a tempfile
instead of the cache directory if the cache directory wasn't writable,
so let's do that now.
