I still don't understand why we don't just enable keepcache by default. Even
after a successful update/install, deleting the cached packages is a major
data loss because it prevents downgrading to them later, after a broken new
update comes out (which also removes the previous update from the mirrors).

One can say that the mirrors should keep the older versions for this purpose but I
don't want to start a flame war.
AFAIK, the "local" plugin is what you are looking for.
