Dear Maintainer, please add an option to finalize apt configuration in
chroot with "apt-get distclean" command. With minimal images this could
significantly reduce resulting image size since apt lists and pkgcache
take up more that 100MB, but could be removed with distclean.

I tried to do this via chroot_hooks but other components like chroot_hacks
and chroot_archives recreate apt indices later.
