Package: apt
Version: 0.3.15
Severity: normal
Hi,
With a default apt.conf file (installed by apt/debconf), after I
installed a package that had to be downloaded, apt asks if I want
to delete the downloaded .deb file.
If I add some default options to apt.conf (according to
examples/apt.conf.gz), then apt does not ask if I want to delete
the downloaded .deb files.
Here is the case that asks to delete the downloaded files, with
the corresponding apt.conf file, then the typescript,
// Pre-configure all packages before they are installed.
// (Automatically added by debconf.)
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"dpkg-preconfig --apt";};

This is the default behavior, so it is not unexpected that you are seeing
this :> It changed from auto to prompt at some point over the past
versions.
