I just want to add that we planned to automatically remove any
.deb files successfully installed after an apt install run, but
have not gotten around to do that yet.
This should eliminate most issues.
Another idea would be to say that all packages older than
N days will be removed in a cron job, if they are currently
installed, and maybe after a month if they are not installed.
