if we expire wheezy and delete the tree, you probably want to keep wheezy/archive
in wheezy-proposed/archive - for the second million :-)

[wheezy]
reschedule-old-count = 0
expire-old-days = 0

ln -f $(find pass fail bugged affected -name \*.log -not -newermt 2013-05-06) recycle/

But then again, I'd rather do this mass rescheduling in wheezy-proposed.

The move to archive is not problematic, it just needs to be set in distros.conf.
And we should rerun the old sections at least whenever we change the
list of sections to keep the navigation in sync.

thinking this a bit further:

we only need to update the source summaries and maintainer summaries
if either the navigation or the content changes
lets skip mainteiner summaries for now - that's only 1/10 compared to source
* PackagesDB already has a timestamp

needsupdate = False
oldstamp = 0
if [ ! -f $source.summary ]:
	needsupdate = True
else
	oldstamp = get_stamp_time($source.summary)
foreach $pkg (binary_packages($source)):
	if test -f $pkg.log && mtime($pkg.log) > $oldstamp:
		needsupdate = True
if mtime(piuarts.conf) > oldstamp:
	needsupdate = true
if needsupdate:
	echo <!-- STAMP=$packagedb.stamp() --> > $source.summary
	echo $sourcesummary >> $source.summary
