I don't think so, at least if I'm reading the manpage correctly. It looks like autoclean simply checks to see if a package still exists on the source machine, if not it trashes your local copy. On "testing" and "unstable" once a new version comes out the old version is pretty quickly removed from the Debian server. I don't think it's immediate, but the previous version of the *.deb file does eventually disappear. It'd be nice if apt-get had an option to keep the *.deb file you had previously installed and the new one and only erased a file after a third was installed. In effect, keeping the previous and current versions of the file. I'm using "versions" in a loose sense, since often a Debian version number, or a few version numbers, are skipped if you don't upgrade often, or are using "testing".
