Since the OP targeted his suggestion to "The user who does a cli-only
install and builds the system up from there (server user, minimalist,
etc)", shouldn't such users be expected of being capable of reading man
apt-get, man apt.conf, man aptitude and the like? I would think so.

And IMHO, reading through those man pages I can't see any options that
pop out as useless.
