&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* && \

From the manpage:

distclean removes all files under /var/lib/apt/lists except Release, Release.gpg, and InRelease. It can be used for example, when finalizing images distributed to users. The release files are kept for security reasons, to prevent various types of attacks.

Seems to be available in newer apt-get version only, i.e. 2.7.14 (Ubuntu 24.04) vs 2.4.13 (22.04)
