Cruft seems like it would be an ideal tool, but you're right that there
were some false positives. It reported some 13k files, which seems like
a lot. Included at the top were the following that really stood out:


        /boot/initrd.img
...
        /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-powerpc
...
        /boot/vmlinux
...
        /etc/X11/default-display-manager
