I'm currently using the following one-liner to prune my package tree  
to essentials +apt:

fink -y remove --recursive `fink list -t -i | grep -v apt | grep -v "\ 
[" | cut -f2`

I'm not sure if "cleanup" defines .debs and sources for packages that  
aren't installed, but are at the current version as obsolete or not.
