Unfortunately, there is currently no way for system-cleaner to know
which packages are obsolete (because they are no longer available via
apt-get), and which ones are third-party packages installed outside of
apt. Thus the bug is valid, but we can't fix it for now.
I discussed this with Michael Vogt. We'll work on changing libapt after
intrepid to make this distinction possible in the future.
