[Bug 1970110] [NEW] downloaded packages are removed just after installation

[Jérôme Bouat]

Public bug reported:

When installing a package with 'apt install [package name]', I see the deb files which appear in /var/cache/apt/archives.
However, just after installation, the deb file are deleted from this directory.
I would prefer a deletion after a few days. Sometimes, we install/uninstall and reinstall.
