Bug#96884: Asks to delete downloaded .deb files even if contains only file: sources
APT could possibly test whether any packages would be deleted before displaying
this prompt, but I don't think it's worth the effort. If you don't like the
prompt (or it doesn't apply to your configuration), you should disable it by
placing the following in /etc/apt/apt.conf:
DSelect::Clean "never";
You could also use "always" to have the cache always cleaned, without
prompting. See apt.conf(5) for details.
