Bug Description
At UDS-L, Scott Ritchie (Ubuntu WINE packager) said that the removal of superseded packages makes it harder to try older packages when testing for regressions and bugs.
While clearly this would require increased disk space, could we offer an option of retaining some binary package history?

Old Ubuntu packages are all available in Launchpad itself for quite a long time.
If you're talking about PPAs, we simply don't have the disk space to keep everything around.
