The purpose was to be able to determine what sources are still in use and what
are not by doing and building and looking for source packages that do not have
an updated atime.  At the time I was interested in culling dead source packages
because I was running low on disk space, but I have a bigger hard drive now so
I'm not quite as interested :)
