I'm using now apt 1.0.9.1ubuntu1 and noticing that there is the option
--list-cleanup that does this job. On testing this I'm also noticing
that this is the default behavior on Ubuntu 14.10 and that all my
obsolete package lists got successfully automatic deleted. But it would
be nice if this option would also be callable as own subcommand but I
will create another ticket for this.

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

Title:
  Removing of obsolete package lists

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 dev with apt 1.0.4ubuntu5. On my system I have
  noticed that the package lists directory (/var/lib/apt/lists) was
  already over 700 MiB big with ~600 MiB of lists which aren't reachable
  anymore. Since apt provides the options clean and autoclean to have
  control about the package cache in /var/cache/apt there could maybe
  also be an option that deletes all obsolete package lists in
  /var/lib/apt/lists.
