Thanks for the quick update on this. :)

I am not sure; normally I would use something like
 "dak rm -nR -b -a ia64 <list-of-binaries>"

but it does not compute transitive dependencies, so it would be a number
of repeated calls (and dak rm is not exactly fast) to build up the full
list of binaries.
