The suggestion to use yum for your use case is a workaround. Regarding improving Pulp's features, if a Pulp user believes there is a feature missing, then the first step is to file a feature request. Would you be willing to fill out a ticket in the bug tracker [0]? Put [RFE] at the beginning of the title so we know its a feature request.
Regarding the yum clean strangeness with uploaded units, I'm not sure what the root cause is for that. Would you be willing to file a separate bug on that describing the issue? You can also do that here [0].
