Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.13-5 autoclean is great, but it would be nice if there could be an optional way to not have it delete .debs of installed versions.
Yes, most old .debs we don't want anymore, except if that is the version we actually have installed. I don't want to throw away a working .deb, and keep a non working .deb, even if the latter is the current version upstream. I just want to keep these aptitude --disable-columns -F %p\ %v search ~U\|~o out of the aptitude -s autoclean list. Wait, on man apt-get the autoclean section mentions APT::Clean-Installed but that is missing from the corresponding man aptitude section, even though it works the same way. Therefore please simply also mention it on man aptitude, to save users hours. rgrep Clean-I -l /usr/share/doc/aptitude/html/en/ finds none there, but it is right on the apt-get man page, meaning it is important.
