Comment:
So, we kind of sucked at doing this, and we're about to re-install
everything for Precise. I don't want to throw out a recovery hook just
for this. I looked at a subset of cluster machines, and found the
following additional packages installed on some of them (a total of 7 out
of 130 were skewed): KDE (and its N dependencies), some gstreamer plugins,
virtuoso (did some class require this?), chromium-browser
There are some false positives, in that some obsolete packages that should
have been autoremoved (old kernels, the openoffice rename,
nspluginwrapper, etc) are still on some machines, so it's hard to do this
programmatically.
I'm going to decide that we wontfix this and should focus our efforts on
#410 instead.
