Package: cruft Version: 0.9.10 Severity: wishlist I'd like cruft to have a disabled-by-default weekly cron job that does something similar to the debsecan security report; a cruft report, delivered weekly detailing new cruft, removed cruft, changed cruft and unchanged cruft. The changed/unchanged cruft could be differentiated by taking the md5sum and the filesystem metadata of the cruft and comparing them. The cron job should ignore /srv, /home and /root at least and maybe /tmp and /var/tmp. This would be incredibly useful for finding postrm, postinst and other bugs. Some whitelist mechanism would probably by needed for cruft that is long-lived due to bugs or FHS violations in Debian packages.
