If the packages are updated then the old ones are "autoclean"ed. I am
not sure how to configure "synaptic" to avoid autocleaning.

A different way to do this is to install a http cache server such as squid
on your LAN. (Use "apt-get install squid" and configure squid to
accept requests from any machine in your LAN).
You then use the following line in /etc/apt/apt.conf on _each_
machine.
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://cache.ip.address:3128";;
This will cache all the requests for files that your different
LAN machines ask for and you will be able to get them quickly if they
have been downloaded once. (Note that all machines should use
the same apt mirror site.)
Other solutions are also possible using "approx", "apt-cacher" and so
on.
Regards,
Kapil.
