I don't think that this is an issue with todays filesystems. If you want to cleanup a package-cache you could use something like this

----
$ cat bin/clean-package-cache
#!/bin/sh

find /opt/mc/package-cache/ -atime +180d -exec mv {} ~/.Trash \;
������

It moves all files that have not been accessed for half a year into the trash folder (I'm a Mac user). You can have this run automatically if add a file

----
$ cat Library/LaunchAgents/org.selfish.cleanPackageCache.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
