Title:
  No option to delete package files after installed/updated them

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since update-manager has updated it's default backend to aptdaemon
  (10.04 was using synaptic) the synaptic option to delete the packages
  after they have been installed/updated does not affect the packages
  downloaded/installed/updated by download manager, causing a
  regression, especially bad for computers with limited space.

  So the problem is that there is no user-configurable option to
  automatically delete .deb files from /var/cache after they have been
  installed from software-center or update-manager, eating up disk
  space.
