Some get removed with postinstall obsolete, some don't. I've never really figured out what's going on, but occasionally I'll explode the sets to a temporary directory, and do a find/diff dance to identify leftover stuff. ..and then it usually turns out that I forgot to recompile any local programs that still needed them :)
