Bug Description
Running for example `pam-auth-update` results in /var/cache/
In focal live CD this file is 17 MB, so that wastes 34 MB of cow/tmpfs/RAM.
This also affects ltsp.org which too uses a live session.
And of course it makes debconf slower than it can be.
This was reported back in 2006 in LP #43706, but a workaround was employed then, instead of pinpointing the underlying debconf issue.
