Maybe on and off, given the demands of various package dependencies and upgrades, or upgrades that may have been incompatible with TeX. I don't recall the specifics of when, or what. The oldest '/var/log/dpkg.log' archive on my system is from 12/06, looks like a 12 month limit. Even so 'dpkg' wasn't able to create log files until 2005. Too bad, because a complete log from 1999 would have the answers.
