Under what circumstances does the cache need to be invalidated? For example,
does installation of new packages need to cause that? Or is there some other
strategy?

I don't think we should add the cache until we've addressed that issue. I've
seen this too many times at too many levels of too many different projects.
The tough issue with a cache is always when to discard the cached data.
