aptitude does neither deletes them nor prompts me to delete them.
I have a script to move the .debs from there into a local mirror, then
dpkg-scanpackage creates a Packages file referencing only the most
recent versions. I then archive the non-referenced debs (the replaced
ones) into a directory named by date and time.
Local mirror and snapshots for rollback. Braindead easy!
