Issue
https://otwarchive.atlassian.net/browse/AO3-6988
Purpose
Change our direct uses of
apt-gettocache-apt-pkgs-actionso that the result can be cached.I also tried out caching all the apt packages in the same step, however that means that uncached runs have to install libvips and calibre even if they don't need it, which slows them down a lot. By keeping the caches separated by step nothing gets slowed down if there is a cache miss.
We have to add the action to the Allow specified actions and reusable workflows list (https://github.com/otwcode/otwarchive/settings/actions) to get it to run in this repo.
Testing Instructions
Run without existing caches: https://github.com/Bilka2/otwarchive/actions/runs/14889581675
Run using caches, with massively reduced install times for ebooks/libvips: https://github.com/Bilka2/otwarchive/actions/runs/14889783962
