It's handy so you don't have to re-fetch any packages you have installed if you decide you want to start from scratch with that package. If you want to trim it back to just current packages and not any of the old versions, apt-get auto-clean. If you don't want any .debs laying around once they're installed, then apt-get clean. -- .''`.
