If eix-test-obsolete is outputting waaaay too much there there's an
opportunity there for you to clean things up, if not today then over
time. Once you get it right it outputs almost nothing.
Note that I run stable and then use ~amd64 in package.keywords rather
liberally where I currently have 20-30 testing packages selected.
I haven't cleaned anything up in months.
