Comment:

 [attachment:38899.1.diff] moves the scheduling of trashed post deletion
 and auto-draft deletion to a new `wp_schedule_garbage_collection()`
 function which gets called at `init`. I suppose this could instead be done
 once during the `wp_install` action, but since `wp_install()` is pluggable
 I'd be nervous that some installs could happen to not get these events
 scheduled.
