For keeping /var/cache/apt/archives sweetly small, I would like
to have a command to keep all package files for packages which
are installed and remove everything else. autoclean does too
little for me (leaving package files which are not installed) and
obviously clean does too much (I am quite often on dial-up so
I would love to have my package files for additional security).
Just to explain better what I mean I hacked together simple (and
dirty) script in Python to illustrate it. See attached.
Thanks,
Matej

Otherwise, if you only want this behaviour occasionally:
# aptitude -o APT::Clean-Installed=false autoclean
