It’s already happening automatically, it’s just that we DO have a lot of
packages now, even without the old ones. To see the old version purging in
action see for example the history of
http://maemo.org/packages/view/conboy/. The apt dir also got moved to
/opt, which probably slowed it down a bit in
exchange for a lot more space or the rootfs. And last, but not least, the
extras-devel Packages file is a solid 14MB nowadays (curse them icons !),
which takes time to get parsed/processed/updated no mater how you slice it.

Best regards,
Attila
