I like to exec into containers to debug them. Almost all the time I need to install something with apt. If we remove
/var/cache/apt/archives/partial
apt complains about that and refuses to run until I create the directory. It is better to keep it and only remove/var/lib/apt/lists/*
as it contains the cached lists. The remaining folders are less than 1MB in sum and this is considered best practice.
