I don't think it has anything to do with user choice or preseeding. Making this a debconf option makes absolutely no sense IMO. The only reason I see to keep the cache is when some packages (after base-installer) fail to install. If we want to cover that case it should be detected automatically by testing the result of tasksel [1]. The final cleanup could be omitted in that case. [1] Checking installation of packages using apt-install is much harder to do as there are many different calls and failure may be expected in some cases. It also gains much less as their total size is much less. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
