Does the 'fink cleanup --debs' function really work? On my machine, I am
finding that executing that leaves behind many previous versions of software
in /sw/fink/10.6/unstable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64/sci, etc. For example...

[MacPro:main/binary-darwin-x86_64/sci] howarth% ls ccp4*
ccp4-dev_6.1.1-9_darwin-x86_64.deb      ccp4-shlibs_6.1.1-9_darwin-x86_64.deb   
ccp4_6.1.1-9_darwin-x86_64.deb
ccp4-dev_6.1.13-1_darwin-x86_64.deb     ccp4-shlibs_6.1.13-1_darwin-x86_64.deb  
ccp4_6.1.13-1_darwin-x86_64.deb
ccp4-dev_6.1.2-1_darwin-x86_64.deb      ccp4-shlibs_6.1.2-1_darwin-x86_64.deb   
ccp4_6.1.2-1_darwin-x86_64.deb
ccp4-dev_6.1.2-4_darwin-x86_64.deb      ccp4-shlibs_6.1.2-4_darwin-x86_64.deb   
ccp4_6.1.2-4_darwin-x86_64.deb
ccp4-dev_6.1.3-1_darwin-x86_64.deb      ccp4-shlibs_6.1.3-1_darwin-x86_64.deb   
ccp4_6.1.3-1_darwin-x86_64.deb

shouldn't fink have removed all previous debs except for the current version 
and revision?

ps The fink wiki claims...

--debs 
Delete .deb files (compiled binary package archives) corresponding to versions 
of packages that are neither described by a package description (.info) file in 
the currently-active trees nor presently installed.

so this doesn't seem to be the expected behavior for fink unstable.
