The concept fits the bill. :) Unfortunately, I tried it out and there
were too many files listed. (~13k). I don't know enough about a healthy
GNU/Linux environment to pass judgment on virtually any of them without
doing research on each. (I did notice some very important files that I
wouldn't want to delete, and that were marked as "unexplained", a
category that marked over 99.9% of the packages.)

Thanks for the tip though. :)
