Agreed, except I do manual cleanup instead because recreating does
NOT save you from stray gcc-X.Y-base packages: they’re kept in the
archive for as long as they’re still used, or (in the debian-ports
case) until the porters request aurel32 to manually remove them(!)
which can… take a while.

Stéphane, I actually don’t block Googlemail, they’re just too utterly
stupid to successfully deliver to me (or anyone else using Greylisting
and not whitelisting their ranges). Same for a few other providers such
as Hotmail. Some spammers (Yahoo) I do block.
