+apt (1.1.11) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ After packages are successfully installed by apt(1),
+ the corresponding .deb package files will be
+ removed from the /var/cache/apt/archives cache directory.
+
+ This can be changed by setting the apt configuration option
+ "APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to "true". E.g:
+
+ # echo 'APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true";' \
+ > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01keep-debs
+
+ Please note that the behavior of apt-get is unchanged. The
+ downloaded debs will be kept in the cache directory after they
+ are installed.
