Package: cupt
Version: 1.5.14.1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Long time no write.  Today I learned that my /var/lib/apt/lists was
about three times as large as it ought to be.  Running "ls", I found
lists from mirrors I no longer use.  "apt-get update" fixed it.

The apt-get(8) manual says:

        --list-cleanup
                This option defaults to on, use --no-list-cleanup to turn
                it off. When on apt-get will automatically manage the
                contents of /var/lib/apt/lists to ensure that obsolete
                files are erased. The only reason to turn it off is if you
                frequently change your source list.

                Configuration Item: APT::Get::List-Cleanup.

Perhaps cupt could use the same configuration and semantics?  (If so,
I see no reason to make it controllable with a separate commandline
option from -o, on the other hand.)

Thanks again for making cupt.  I will have to take the plunge to
trying the C++ version one of these days, and then I will be ready to
start hacking on proper pre-depends support.  (I haven't forgotten
about the existing bugs, either; time is just hard to find.)

Ciao,
Jonathan
