Understanding apt-get



In the man page for apt-get, the paragraph for
the --list-cleanup option reads:

  This option defaults to on,  use  --no-list-cleanup
  to turn it off.  When on apt-get will automatically
  manage  the  contents  of /var/state/apt/lists  to
  ensure  that  obsolete  files  are erased. The only
  reason to turn it off is if you  frequently  change
  your source list.

My reading of this paragraph is that, following an
"apt-get update", any installed packages that are not
in the new list, will be removed. Is this correct?

Cheers.
Aurelio.
