Thanks Eduard!

Based on your hint, I was able to figure out what needs to be done:

1. Open http://<APT_CACHER_HOST>:3142/acng-report.html in the browser
2. Click "Start Scan and/or Expiration" button
3. Wait for the scan to finish
4. After the scan has finished, navigate to "Allocated disk space (Top 10, show 
more / cleanup)" at the bottom of the page and click the link "show more / 
cleanup"
5. Select the check boxes left to all listed release files, we want to get rid 
of (seems to put a lot of load on my Firefox as checking the boxes and 
scrolling made the browser freeze a lot)
6. At the bottom of the page, click the button "Delete selected files"
7. On the next page, click the button "Delete files"

So it is not the apt-cacher-ng package that has a bug, but the
documentation on the German Ubuntu wiki that is outdated.

Unfortunately, the procedure above is not really straight forward. Even
in case that you have already navigated to the apt-cacher-ng browser
page. It is not really intuitive that you have to click the tiny link
"show more / cleanup" in order to start making all the old distro
killing happen.
