"apt clean" removes unnecessary download packages.

My personal preference is to have upgrade packages downloaded
automatically but not installed, and to get a daily email message
from each box in my house with a list of what is ready. After I
do an upgrade, I also do a clean.

At work, the local repo syncs with Debian mirrors, then tells
the sysadmin team what's new. They push packages into each of
several tiers of machines: the "any time" machines which can, if
necessary, be rebooted mid-day; the "evening" machines which can
stop after people have gone home; the "weekend" machines which
need to wait for a maintenance window unless there is an
emergency.
