apt-get and growing cache



Why all downloaded packages are saved in the /var/cache/apt/archives directory.
Can I delete these files ?
Where can I tell to not keep these file ?

I see only one interest in keeping downloaded files, It' s to download only the diff when upgrading a package.
But it's not what is done.
