Even this cleanup should be done be the buildd admins itself IMHO. I
usually do that together with a chroot-cleanup on the buildd, and thus
do not like to have it done by others. I know that i sometimes lag
behind a bit (a day or two). Nag me over IRC in that case.

Greetings

PS: Philip Kern has access to all my buildds as well, so if something
needs urgent response, feel free to nag him as well.
