I deployed an update to calm today which should add evicting stale
package versions (package versions that are no longer accessible by the
installer) from the release area.
By default, the package versions retained are those used by the curr:,
keep: and test: versions (either by being explicitly assigned to those
labels, or implicitly chosen for them)
When an upload causes older package versions to be evicted, these should
be listed in the upload report.
Tuning to retain additional package versions can be controlled via keys
in an override.hint file (see [1] for details), but setup is not capable
of being told about these additional versions, so they can't be
installed currently (see the thread preceding [2] for discussion of that)

Yeah, one less thing for me to do on sourceware!
BTW, does this also handle stale PVR.hint? What about old setup.hint
files which are obsoleted by PVR.hint?

Yes, it should do.

No.
Once pvr.hint is working properly and being used by the majority of
package maintainers, my plan is to retire setup.hint, probably by using
a script to copy setup.hint to any missing pvr.hint, then remove all
setup.hint.
