Bug#160743: apt: apt-get clean should run weekly

[Daniel Quinlan <quinlan@pathname.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal

The apt package cache grows without bound; "apt-get clean" should be
run regularly (a script in /etc/cron.weekly would be fine).  Without
such a script, apt runs the danger of filling up smaller disks, especially
on systems run by less experienced Debian adminstrators.

Optimally, there would be options to apt-get to allow expiry of packages
older than a certain number of days ("apt-get --age=5days clean" or something
like that), but that is not required (only if you feel inspired).
