So, If I do this, my cache will not be cleared and I can periodically backup my debs every week or so? And further, I will have to manually clear it periodically?

Also in the wiki, there is a warning:
WARNING: Downloading deb files for all the installed packages may cause the root file-system to be exhausted thereby "bricking" the device. Proceed with caution.
So this means that if I keep my cache uncleaned for long, it can brick my system?
