Well, strictly taken there are no dead attachments. Every attachment is
reachable by the AttachFile action (clicking on Attachments in the
navi_bar).

Thus, you maybe shouldn't try to automatically kill everything that is
not referenced by some wiki page, it is not technically required that
there is a link from a page for every attachment (same for pages: they
also can exist an be used without being linked from anywhere).

That said, it could be a valid policy for a wiki, that non-linked
attachments are to be considered dead and to be removed. As there is no
revert for deleting an attachment, one needs to be careful, though.
