I'm not 100% sure this will work, but I think if you also remove the
/var/cache/debtorrent/.DebTorrent directory and do an apt-get update
after the restart then it won't try to refetch the removed packages.
You just need to make sure that the packages that are not deleted are
still shared. Check the http://localhost:9988/ page after you apt-get
update to make sure the sizes are not 0.
