What a useful tip! This is really, really useful - except that it
ignores kernel-smp packages. Is this deliberate?
Perhaps the script should be modified to see which of kernel or
kernel-smp is in use (using uname -a or something similar), and modify
the comparison in line 141 of the package-cleanup script accordingly.
