I think it should not be reset, because then, by re-using the numbers, you might have an invalid "link" with old child data, which, if the autoincrement column is not reset, would be orphaned (as it should).
To have more control over the auto-incremented numbers, you can create your own function, and invoke it from the field's Default Value. The field should be defined as type Integer. This was the method often used before the auto-incremented was available.
If you are interested, I will post my version of this function.
