Enable gitian-builder to work without a apt-cacher-ng(8) dependency
It could be wise to remove apt-cacher-ng(8) as a dependency from gitian-builder. Build errors accompanying this dependency account for delays. In order to take advantage of apt-cacher-ng(8) ability to abstract (and thus help anonymize) downloads as well as reduce traffic, it should be used by default unless missing on the build system or explicitly disabled.
If it's too difficult to make this dependency optional, or if most builders aren't having problems with apt-cacher-ng(8), then close this ticket.
