An even closer look: Obsolete but still included packages

[Michael Schwendt]

I've split out the code that performs this check (based on an idea
like old RepoPrune), added a brute-force check for dead.package files
(via http and cgit), and the current working-copy is this:
  http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/obscheck-remote.py
