They *should* be stored in /var/cache/apt/archive.
Try moving apt.conf out of the way, or renaming it so it isn't
sourced/consulted when you run apt. Do they now appear in
/var/cache/apt/archive, if so then you have a misconfigured apt.conf
otherwise the problem is somewhere else.
AHHHH, from man apt-get:
When APT is used as a dselect(8) method, clean is run automatically.
Those who do not use dselect will likely want to run apt-get clean
from time to time to free up disk space.
You are'nt running dselect are you?
If none of this helps then I would reinstall "apt" and "apt-utils"

Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to
etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once
etch goes stable.
