contrib: Do a more conservative approach (full sorting) to figure out the youngest debs. This _much_ slower but it works correctly. TODO: make the heapq.nsmallest() work correct.

delete-old-debs.py
------------------
Script to remove old deb files from a given list
of directories. Tree Packager builds a lot of deb files
when running a long time. Not all of them a needed forever.
We had a directory with over 13.000(!) deb files eating
up 15 GiB of hard disk space. This lead to performance
problems and problems generating the corresponding repository.
This script enables you only leave the n-th youngest deb
files per package in the directory. It may be used inside
a cron job to garbage collect old package.

Usage: delete-old-debs.py [options] dir ...

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose         verbose output
  -d, --dry-run         don't remove the old deb files
  -k KEEP, --keep=KEEP  number of files to keep. Default: 3
