I didn't want to assume; but, that direction makes sense if packages are to contain purgeable file definitions. Is it fair to say that *all* applicable filesystems are ramdisks and, therefore, can be identified according to form: /dev/ramX ? The tools available are busybox grep and sort, and real sed?
