Just to gauge what to expect from this and whether I did this wrong:
After configuring /etc/sysclean.ignore I get 3382 files of which 3274
are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/. Are numbers this large to be expected?

Also: The above mentioned dmx files are not listed. Does that mean my
assumption that they are related to the removed libdmx is false or did I
screw something else up?

Lastly: From your emails it seems to me that the use of sysclean after
upgrading is very much encouraged if not necessary. Then why is it not
included in base (especially when it's developed by OpenBSD developers)?
Or am I misunderstanding the requirements for inclusion of packages in
base?

Best regards,
Alexander
