Thank you for the work on this utility, I consider it very useful here. Well, sysmerge(8) has the -p option for package mode. So, sysclean(8) may too work on package dirs, if you would like to add this. And also pkg_check(8) could be mentioned in see also section. I see a benefit to both approaches, especially if a clear option is added to sysclean.
