I don't know how to get not-configured packages from aptitude (why not just
run dpkg --configure -a before running midclean -- I guess that you really
shouldn't do any cleaning operations when you do not have system in 100%
shape anyway), but removed-but-not-purged packages are preserved in this
version (which is also X/MIT licensed).

I have now used different method of finding differences, so this is not
relevant anymore. And yes, that if was probably wrong.

Thanks for noticing that -- it should be OK now ('#' character in formatting
