No. No one want's to know how the package is provided. I'll arrange the 
PackageProvider to check for a chache hit with the required checksum before 
actually starting the download.

It's the PackageProviders task to get the package in the most direct way. If 
the provider is buggy or can be optimized, this should be done instead of 
working arround the bug.
