I'm trying to figure out if it would make sense to also remove the old
symlinks, or if the cleanup scripts would handle it just fine... I
think the cleanup scripts would work

The last thing on the list would be adding a block to the cleanup
scripts to cleanup 'any' packages that don't have remaining
symlinks... seeing as the 'any' dir doesn't have a real DB, we can't
clean it up like normal, but if it symlinks to nothing, it can be
deleted.

Thanks for all your work on this, you're my hero - and the FIRST
outside contributor to the db-scripts :)
