Hi,
I began to notice that rarely does apt remove upgraded .deb from
its cache after a dselect install. Here is a typescript that
shows this problem,
114 jsroot ~ # dselect

what is weird is that sometimes upgraded packages _are_ deleted,
but this is happening more rarely as I do updates over time.

If you use apt-cache show elvis-tiny you will see that both versions still
exist one Debian's site. Not erasing them in consistant with the
documented behavior of auto clean.
