I think it's something like Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true"; in a file perhaps called /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01keep-debs Or on the command line: apt -o APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages="true" install <foo> Doesn't seem to be a documented option in the man page for apt.conf, but is found here: /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz
