Question #77970 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77970

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
You could easily setup rsync to copy out the files from the cache to
another location. This is especially good if you have a seperate home
partition and a very small root partition. If home and root are on the
same partition then this is not necessary.

If you run:

sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic

you should set:

APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0";

which should then never clean them out (as far as I am aware).

If you use the rsync option, you could rsync directly to a USB storage
device / SD Card which you can them immediately transfer to another
system. Pretty slick.
