Which is one of the reasons I never really wanted to add more "clean"
options. Everyone has some different expectation about what a given
'clean' should actually remove and its not possible to satisfy
everyone :/. I don't really want to end up with twenty different cleans.

Ultimately, I think -c clean should plant something in the system that
has it ignore any sstate packages *anywhere* (including remote) and
rebuild that package.

'cleanall' then makes sense as it is and nothing else should be needed.

So the above is the big hint as to the patch I'd like to see :)

Cheers,
