Description dE 2010-05-15 18:55:20 UTC

Overtime, the package.* files get polluted and you have to manually see if it effects the system or not.

This work should be automated i.e. a utility to remove the reductant entries which have no effect.

Reproducible: Always

That -cCd is very useful, but it apparently doesn't do any action other than just listing them.
