The appropriateness/inappropriateness of "Recommends" is a relative notion...

I assumed that autoclean removes the packages that are not installed on the current system.

I
 am from arch linux and I was expecting that this clean-installed switch
 removes .deb files that are not installed on the system, like pacman 
-Sc in archlinux.

But one still one question remains is How did apt-get autoclean remove the vlc related packages .deb files  
even though they were clearly not partially downloaded files?
The bad thing is I don't have any logs to show you.
history.log , term.log, aptitude log doesn't show the step about autoclean I did.

Maybe someone else should try on their system and report.
