As luck would have it, I saw a web page earlier today that might be useful in providing a bit of background into Debian package management. Obviously, only the bits that refer to apt-get and dpkg are relevant to Maemo as there is no Aptitude (Shame, as it's my preferred solution..), Synaptic etc. Hope it's useful!

That is boring!
Also keep in mind. HAM always uses 'apt-get clean' after each installation and fapman could be configured the same, so they always wipe the download directory.
