So the idea is to keep changed packages that might be useful to Debian
package maintainers, so they can incorporate the changes into Debian
or fix the issues found by derivatives in a different way. So we
should keep patches/packages that have a chance of being useful and
remove the other ones.

To start with the script could keep the source packages and
corresponding patches that are still available in any active
derivative's apt repository or in the last version of any inactive
derivative's apt repository.
