Isn't it possible to have multiple versions of the same package in the cache?
Yes, hence the apt-get autoclean.
Yeah, it's not a perfect solution. If it's a relatively new installation, then there might not be that much in the cache, and he'll need to work out what packages are installed (dpkg -l) and reinstall those from the mounted installation CD too.
