I haven't noticed 'apt' deleting the download cache by default here on
my Stretch machine; I also 'apt clean' periodically for this very reason
(that argument being accepted by apt and more*, although it remains
undocumented so as to not confuse and/or clutter the minds of the hoi
polloi).

In the time-frame of the cited bug (October, 2015), at least, one thread
participant opined that the automatic clean-up in apt had yet to be
"implemented". Has it been done since somewhere?
