Nope.  It's just basic configuration options.  I can't seem to keep any
second copies of the cache, but at least I know where the options are :-):

In any file in /etc/apt/apt-conf.d/

APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval 1;
APT::Archives::MaxAge 2;

In this case, it says run "apt-get clean" daily, and don't keep anything
more than two days old.  These lines came out of a backup (ie, ends with ~)
file, which I thought shouldn't be executed.  Tbe command that uses those
is executed from /etc/cron.daily/apt, which is part of the apt package.
