Sort of, except you really want it to be done at the end of the current request. (auto-cleanup doesn't seem to do that, setting it to 0 turns it off).
When you're building a docker image you really want to make sure the end of every command only the things the NEED are in the filesystem as a snapshot is taken at the point. If you're wanting to reduce container size this is important. I might take a look at zef today if I have time and see if I can work out a simple version.
