What I'm proposing instead is to save the original package 'as is' at installation time (plus, no special action is needed to do that).

Other choice could be to reinstall app (remove & reinstall if from Store, or 'apt-get --reinstall install' from command line)

I think I found a simple way of saving a copy of any installation package (whether coming from Nokia Store or manual apt-get command), at installation time.
It is a one line hack, so I'm not going to wrap it into a user-installable package.
So, open a terminal session as root, go to /etc/apt/apt-conf.d/, launch your favorite editor and create a file named "02backup" containing the following:
That's all.Code:Dpkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"BKPDIR=/home/user/MyDocs/AptBackup/; mkdir -p $BKPDIR; while read pkg; do cp $pkg $BKPDIR; done"};
Since the next installation, a directory /home/user/MyDocs/AptBackup/ should be created and all packages should be copied there.
I haven't tested with packages that download dependencies, but I believe also said dependencies will be 'backupped'.
Note: you may want to disable this feature if you are going to upgrade to a newer PR release, otherwise your upgrade will be slow and your storage getting filled.
P.S. You can append filenames with .deb after they are copied to the AptBackup folder. This will cause filebox, etc to show the proper icon.
