I've talked about this with Robie Basak before.
For cloud-images building, it seems like it makes sense to clear out apt cache
for updates and security. In the best case scenario, those files are up to
date and apt wont re-download. That lasts only until the next SRU or security
update, so it is not a long term win.
So it seems to make good sense to just clean those out, leaving only release
files.
That will fix this problem for all stable releases where the release pocket is
frozen. The problem will still exist during the development cycle of a
release, but that seems much less impact.
