Just to add a voice in opposition to automatic clean, or even automatic autoclean:
What I'd like apt to do is keep pristine copies of all packages that have been installed within the last N days. That is, the package file would be kept until N days after the package was uninstalled (e.g. upgraded). That would give me N days to notice any problems and revert the upgrade, without depending on an external web site to archive the package for me. I'd also like an option to automatically download and keep the source package under the same conditions, for GPL compliance reasons. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
