I thought I replied to the original bug filing, but I guess I didn't -- sorry. The implementation difficulty is because approx-import runs as the "approx" user, so that it can write to the approx cache. But the approx user is unlikely to be able to unlink the original files -- they're almost certainly owned by someone else. It's not impossible (obviously). But the changes are a little more far-reaching than just calling unlink after each import.
