Well, 3 makes quiet some sense to me: I 'enable' globally to store the 
downloaded packages, but copying everything which I have on my CD/DVD/NFS 
repository also to all the local disc does not make much sense.

Think about a school: we offer a NFS Server with some interesting repos for our 
dormitor. Students are kindly asked to use that one to update their Systems. 
But then, they also want to use some additional repos, which we do not have on 
our NFS system. I'm not sure they want to keep all the things from our NFS 
server, but they might very well keep the downloads from other repos (for easy 
/ fast sharing together).
