Doesn't a new version replace the previous one?

IMHO, best way to do that would be to have a cron job for this that would
scan packages and remove then if one of these conditions are present:
* Version number <= current - number
* (Version number > current - number) && (package is too old)
What has to be defined is when a package is too old (the delay to keep
it) and also the number of version to kept in the repository.
(number = 2) should be enough I think. We will have only current version
and previous one.
For the delay, I don't know how much it should be.
I am not sure everything was really clear there ;)
