NetBSD has in its distribution sets things that look like:
        obsolete.mi
        obsolete.${ARCH}
and its distribution tools remove the old cruft on installation of the
newer distribution set.

Something like the following would then put things right:

sysclean:
        @ head -2 ${SRCDIR}/release/obsolete.mi | xargs rm
        @ head -2 ${SRCDIR}/release/obsolete.${MACHINE_ARCH} | xargs rm

would be the FreeBSD way of saying something similar.  However, the
obsolete.mi file would get large with time :-)
