I think Curtis was thinking more of packages that were in potato and are
no longer available in woody. For that, I'd advise using dselect and
removing everything under "Obsolete/Local" unless they're local packages
you know you want to keep. Some of the apt frontends may be able to do
the same thing - I don't use them, so I wouldn't know.
