Why?  It's completely trivial -- `rm -rf {arch}/++pristine-trees'

Of course a better approach would be to simply not use pristine trees at all.
They're almost obsolete these days (that is, there are probably some special
applications where you might want to use them, but the vast majority of the
time it's easier to use a greedy revision library instead).
