    Alright then. I don't use aptitude, but apparantly I have it
    installed. From /usr/share/aptitude/README:

    --------
    Option:Aptitude::Autoclean-After-Update

    Default:false

    Description: If this option is true, aptitude will clean up obsolete
    files (see Actions->Clean obsolete files) every time you update the
    package list.
    --------

    So putting

    Aptitude::Autoclean-After-Update

    in your apt.conf will delete all obsolete files in your package
    cache. Deleting really everything doesn't seem to be an available
    option, but maybe you can find it in that file.
