After reading the link you gave I decided to give up on not having an
apt cache and use a cron script. Since apt can't be made to not cache
files, that is necessary anyway.

Thank you for this link. It tells me what I wanted (or didn't want)
to know, so I'm now just using a cron script.
I would mark this bug wontfix since it's really not apticron's fault
(if apt could be made to always automatically clean up after
installs/upgrade, then have apticron clean up after doing it's thing
would make sense).
Regards,
Daniel
