The only cache cleaning that I know of is in base-config:
if which tasksel >/dev/null 2>&1; then
if [ "$1" = new ]; then
tasksel_param="--new-install"
fi
if ! tasksel -ris $tasksel_param; then
$0 failure
exit 1
fi
fi
if [ "$KEEP_BASE_DEBS" != yes ]; then
apt-get -f clean || true
fi
I don't see how this could cause the cache to be cleaned if the tasksel
run failed.
