Edit (or create) /etc/apt.conf and add the following to it:
// Things that effect the APT dselect method
DSelect
{
Clean "auto"; // always|auto|prompt|never
};
As you can see, I've got apt set up to do automatic cleaning.
Most times, the default is "prompt".
I'm seriously thinking about setting mine to never -- since I'm
running testing and have gotten burned by a few upgrades.
[Like the recent libc 2.2 -> 2.3 upgrade. I *was* running a NIS
server on that box until that point. Now I've got another box running
stable with my department's NIS server on it. It also gave me an
excuse to set up a backup DNS server. So, even tho there were a few
hair-raising moments, it all worked out in the end.]
