Safe rm available?



Since 'rm' can be pretty dangerous sometimes, especially to new unix users,
I was wondering whether there is something like a "save rm" out there.

With feature similar to this list:
 - moving files to /tmp/trash instead of unlinking  (saving full path)
 - configuration file with regexps listing files
   + that can't be rm'ed
   + that shouldn't be rm'ed (ask for confirmation)

I didn't search the entire internet yet, but at least I couldn't find
any debian packages.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance,
 Andy.
