I routinely use find(1) and some secret knowledge about files that
do not change their timestamps between installworlds to clean up
stale files.  Fortunately there are not too much files that install
with -C, less in 5.x than in 4.x.

Also, Warner Losh worked on a project that would allow to remove
files obsoleted between releases.  I don't know what the current
status of this project is, or if it's still alive.  ;)
