+  [ Automatic removal of debs after install ]
+  After packages are successfully installed by apt(8),
+  the corresponding .deb package files will be
+  removed from the /var/cache/apt/archives cache directory.
+
+  This can be changed by setting the apt configuration option
+    "Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to "true". E.g:
+
+  # echo 'Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true";' \
+      > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01keep-debs
+
+  Please note that the behavior of apt-get is unchanged. The
+  downloaded debs will be kept in the cache directory after they
+  are installed. To enable the behavior for other tools, you can set
+  "APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages" to false.
+
+  [ Compressed indices ]
+  If you use Acquire::gzipIndexes, or any other compressed index targets,
+  those will now be compressed with the fastest supported algorithm,
+  currently lz4.

   A new algorithm for pinning has been implemented, it now assigns a
   pin priority to a version instead of assigning a pin to a package.
