Computer Janitor (nee System Cleaner, also known as Cruft Remover
*sigh*) has been removing autoremovable packages since intrepid. Also
unsupported packages. It also removes old kernels, but indirectly, as
part of removing unsupported packages. It does not touch user files;
that may be added some day, but not for jaunty.

Rotated log files should be removed by logrotate -- I'm not sure it's
worth deleting them especially, since the sysadmin supposedly wants a
specific rotation schedule. (If anything, logrotate should perhaps be
configured to keep only small amounts of logs by default, limited by
disk space usage.)
