Please. Arch any binaries are fully removed automatically. Arch all binaries
are now in the cruft report and removed by FTP Team members. In neither case
is a bug needed.
A bug would only be helpful if you discover a package didn't make it on to the
cruft report (this should be unusual). It's only regenerated once per day, so
you have to wait before you know it's missing.
