[Bug 1343787] [NEW] Removing of obsolete package lists

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 dev with apt 1.0.4ubuntu5. On my system I have
noticed that the package lists directory (/var/lib/apt/lists) was
already over 700 MiB big with ~600 MiB of lists which aren't reachable
anymore. Since apt provides the options clean and autoclean to have
control about the package cache in /var/cache/apt there could maybe also
be an option that deletes all obsolete package lists in
/var/lib/apt/lists.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
