Yes, this is very true. There are procedures for cleaning these but they are fairly delicate operations. Akin to cleaning dust off of an SLR mirror. The difference is that you can ignore the dust on an SLR mirror but you can't ignore the dust on a CCD. For long, anyway.

Indeed, but dust will rest on the mirror and inside the body, disturbed by
movement of mirror and will make it through shutter, not an issue on a film
camera as the film moves on, but in a DSLR the CCD is there forever,
accumulating dust.
