We have a HTML report which lists all packages that could/should be
rebuilt, and packages which can be deleted:

http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/obsolete-pkgs/

As far as deleting stubs with no revdeps, I pull data from the URL
above and pass them to safe_remove_package.py:

It doesn't run automatically, I'd be a bit concerned to let a shell
script loose with a chainsaw against our catalog. We could extend the
program which generates these reports - any volunteers? :-)
